In practice

Playbooks that use IntelliJ IDEA.

Software

Upgrading a framework across dozens of services

A major framework or runtime version is going end-of-life and it touches every service. Ana plans the migration, upgrades each service in its own branch, fixes what breaks, and hands your team small, tested pull requests instead of one terrifying diff.

Software

A module inside the monolith needs to become its own service. Ana documents what the module really does, defines the contract, builds the service behind a strangler route, and proves parity before any traffic moves.
