Scenario 1: Consolidate to Firefly Services SDK
The Photoshop and Lightroom APIs were previously separate. They are now part of Firefly Services with a unified SDK:
Week 1-2: Setup
├── Create Adobe Developer Console project
├── Install SDKs and implement adapter layer
├── Write integration tests for both old and new
└── Deploy adapter with 0% traffic to Adobe
Week 3-4: Validation
├── Route 5% traffic to Adobe adapter
├── Compare results (output quality, latency, error rate)
├── Fix edge cases discovered in production traffic
└── Increase to 25% if metrics are acceptable
Week 5-6: Gradual Migration
├── Increase to 50% traffic
├── Monitor cost impact (Adobe vs old provider)
├── Address any performance regressions
└── Increase to 100% if all metrics pass
Week 7-8: Cleanup
├── Remove old adapter code
├── Delete old provider credentials
├── Update documentation
└── Run postmortem on migration
