titleSome areas that we are expanding on

This is a work in progress. What we are doing is going through a practical process of exploring how in practice customers use Iguana. What are the important use patterns that we have to make easy to bring across into the new system.

We aim to quickly identify our customers can get the majority of their interfaces ported over in a smooth safe fashion.

titleHow does the shim library work?

The shim library allows us to simulate API functions which don’t exist under IguanaX that used to under Iguana 6.

This is things like iguana.channelName() which don’t make sense for IguanaX which no longer has channels. Here’s more documentation on shim functions:

titleWhere is this going?

We are optimistic we can automate most of the work in converting Iguana 6 to Iguana X code. Doing the conversion in this way is very powerful since it will give final control to each customer to go the last mile in terms of doing the conversion in manner which helps you each get the best conversion possible.

It makes it possible to customize the script to target specific problems that might only impact on your user cases of Iguana. More to say about that later.

For now we are working with a number of customers to use this tool to accelerate the process of identifying and eliminating gaps and making Iguana X a practical platform to migrate to.
