Domain Cloud Native

Teaches Claude to build cloud-native Rust apps that play nice with Kubernetes and container orchestration. The skill enforces stateless design, graceful shutdown on SIGTERM, and proper observability through tracing spans. It connects domain constraints like the 12-factor app methodology to concrete Rust implementations using tokio signals, tonic for gRPC, and OpenTelemetry. You get health check patterns for liveness and readiness probes, plus guidance on avoiding common mistakes like storing state locally or ignoring shutdown signals. Honestly, this is less about writing microservices and more about not getting paged at 3am because your pods won't drain cleanly.

Layer 3: Domain Constraints

Domain Constraints → Design Implications

Domain Rule	Design Constraint	Rust Implication
12-Factor	Config from env	Environment-based config
Observability	Metrics + traces	tracing + opentelemetry
Health checks	Liveness/readiness	Dedicated endpoints
Graceful shutdown	Clean termination	Signal handling
Horizontal scale	Stateless design	No local state
Container-friendly	Small binaries	Release optimization

Critical Constraints

Stateless Design

RULE: No local persistent state
WHY: Pods can be killed/rescheduled anytime
RUST: External state (Redis, DB), no static mut

Graceful Shutdown

RULE: Handle SIGTERM, drain connections
WHY: Zero-downtime deployments
RUST: tokio::signal + graceful shutdown

Observability

RULE: Every request must be traceable
WHY: Debugging distributed systems
RUST: tracing spans, opentelemetry export
