...JSON and XML serialization/deserialization. big.Int's API is built to reduce the number of memory allocations for maximal performance. This makes sense for its use-case, but the trade-off is that the API is awkward and easy to misuse. In contrast, it's difficult to make such mistakes with decimal. Decimals behave like other go numbers types: even though a = b will not deep copy b into a, it is impossible to modify a Decimal, since all Decimal methods return new Decimals and do not modify the originals. The downside is that this causes extra allocations, so Decimal is less performant.

...Usually, this is achieved by starting a new process, somehow transferring clients to it, and then exiting the old process. There are many ways to implement graceful upgrades. They vary wildly in the trade-offs they make, and how much control they afford the user. No old code keeps running after a successful upgrade. The new process has a grace period for performing initialization. Crashing during initialization is OK. Only a single upgrade is ever run in parallel.
