    I remember my engineer being such a hardass on using v2 of our API and when I went to implement a feature, v2 didn’t even have ANY of the endpoints I needed

      I don’t get why anyone would publish v2 when it not really on feature-parity. Do companies really start releasing v2 endpoints slowly?

        it’s called the strangler pattern, where the new version is layered on top of the old and gradually replaces it.

        it usually doesn’t work.
