Answer
Incrementally use pattern matching in new or refactored code.
To introduce pattern matching safely, start by using it in small, newly written sections of the codebase. For example, replace instanceof checks with pattern matching in small utility functions or services. This reduces risk and helps developers learn the feature gradually.
