summary
Describes how DigitalOcean built an internal API gateway to break a monolith into microservices gradually and without downtime, centralizing shared functionality while keeping each new microservice isolated. Covers the gateway's architecture and implementation, pros and cons of the approach, migration progress and next steps, and how the gateway enables teams to migrate at their own pace rather than forcing a big-bang rewrite.
