This one guides you through decomposing monoliths and designing distributed systems with proper service boundaries, communication patterns, and resilience strategies. It covers the practical stuff like defining contracts, managing distributed data, implementing service discovery, and planning migrations. Comes with an implementation playbook that walks through patterns and examples. The honest take: microservices add real operational complexity, so the skill explicitly tells you when not to use it, like when you're building a prototype or don't have the ops team to support distributed systems. Good guardrails for teams who need to make the monolith vs microservices call based on actual constraints, not hype.

Microservices Patterns

Master microservices architecture patterns including service boundaries, inter-service communication, data management, and resilience patterns for building distributed systems.

Use this skill when

  • 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

Do not use this skill when

  • The system is small enough for a modular monolith
  • You need a quick prototype without distributed complexity
  • There is no operational support for distributed systems

Instructions

  1. Identify domain boundaries and ownership for each service.
  2. Define contracts, data ownership, and communication patterns.
  3. Plan resilience, observability, and deployment strategy.
  4. Provide migration steps and operational guardrails.

Resources
