Platform Evolution Strategy
Acceso evolves through additive changes. Client integrations should not require frequent rewrites.
When something must change:
Deprecation and migration (what you should expect)
Public resources are grouped under explicit versions.
New capabilities can ship under the latest version without affecting older ones.
Older versions remain available while clients migrate.
What “versioned” means here
Prefer adding over changing.
Prefer new endpoints over changing semantics in-place.
Prefer adding fields over renaming or retyping fields.
Gate breaking changes behind versioned namespaces.
Keep error formats stable for client automation.
These are the default rules for shipping changes:
Compatibility rules (practical)
A migration path is provided first.
The replacement is documented side-by-side with the old surface.
SDKs track the stable contract and help reduce integration drift.
What this unlocks
A new internal service or adapter is introduced.
Schemas are normalized to match existing conventions.
Observability and rate controls are applied at the gateway.
Docs and SDK updates ship with examples and edge-case notes.
Acceso grows by adding new domain capabilities. This is usually additive and isolated:
How new protocols are added
Integrate once, then adopt new venues without platform migrations.
Depend on predictable behavior even as internals improve.
Use Acceso as long-lived infrastructure in production systems.
