Change-Impact Analysis for a Cross-Service API Migration
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Analyze API logs, map consumers, predict v3 breakage, and design a dual-write migration plan. You get a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The logistics platform (Series-C at USD 95M raised) tried a v1→v2 migration that broke 3 internal services for 11 hours — leadership needs the v3 migration to be visibly different.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Run change-impact analysis on a v2→v3 API migration spanning 23 consumers and design a 12-week coordination plan with measurable safety nets.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Map cross-service API consumers from gateway logs + service catalog
- Predict failure surfaces from consumer-side static analysis
- Design a multi-mode migration path (parallel-run + dual-write + sunset)
- Coordinate a 12-week migration across 11 teams without it stalling
