Java Microservices
Handles the full Spring Cloud stack for building distributed systems: service discovery with Eureka, API Gateway routing with circuit breakers, and event-driven patterns using Kafka or RabbitMQ. Includes saga orchestration for handling distributed transactions and Resilience4j configuration for preventing cascade failures. The skill covers both choreography and orchestration approaches with real compensation logic examples. If you're moving past monoliths or need to wire up microservices that actually stay up under load, this gives you the resilience patterns and observability setup that production systems require. The distributed tracing config alone will save you hours of debugging.
