Design microservices architectures with clear service boundaries, event-driven communication, and resilience patterns when decomposing monoliths.

About

A skill for designing microservices architectures with well-defined service boundaries, event-driven communication, and resilience patterns. Developers use it when constructing distributed systems, decomposing monoliths, or implementing microservices from scratch.

  • Service boundaries
  • Event-driven communication
  • Resilience patterns

Microservices Patterns Skill

Design distributed systems with service boundaries, event-driven communication, and resilience patterns.

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on microservices architecture including service decomposition, inter-service communication, data management, and resilience patterns for building reliable distributed systems.

When to Use

  • Decomposing monoliths into microservices
  • Designing service boundaries and contracts
  • Implementing inter-service communication
  • Managing distributed data and transactions
  • Building resilient distributed systems
  • Implementing service discovery and load balancing
  • Designing event-driven architectures

Core Patterns

Service Decomposition

  • By business capability
  • By subdomain (DDD)
  • Strangler Fig pattern for gradual migration
  • API Gateway for aggregation

Communication

  • Synchronous: REST, gRPC, GraphQL
  • Asynchronous: Event streaming (Kafka), Message queues (RabbitMQ, SQS)
  • Request/Response vs Event-Driven

Data Management

  • Database per service (no shared databases)
  • Saga pattern for distributed transactions
  • Eventual consistency
  • Compensating actions

Resilience

  • Circuit Breaker pattern
  • Retry with exponential backoff
  • Bulkhead isolation
  • Health checks and service discovery

Auto-Trigger Keywords

  • microservices architecture
  • service decomposition
  • distributed systems
  • event driven architecture
  • saga pattern
  • circuit breaker
  • API gateway
  • service mesh
  • inter-service communication
  • database per service
