[erlang-questions] cowboy migration smooth path

Hello,

Upgrading just Ranch, no problem.

Upgrading just Cowlib, I'm not sure, some things might have changed 
enough to cause issues when Cowlib 2.0 was released.

I would recommend upgrading Cowboy and Cowlib at the same time, Cowboy 
releases tend to need a Cowlib update anyway.

Cowboy 2.6 will be released tomorrow, so I would wait for that as well.

In my experience updating a code base to use Cowboy 2 is fairly easy, 
you mostly need to remove some unnecessary stuff or to convert lists of 
key/values to maps. As always, test and measure.

Cheers,
