Java: Migration Strategy
Answer
Consider backward compatibility and incremental changes.
Migrating to Java 17 features requires careful consideration of backward compatibility. Instead of rewriting the entire system, adopt features incrementally. For example, start by introducing Java Records where immutable data is predominant in the legacy codebase. This approach minimizes risk and allows for testing each change thoroughly before full integration.
