Microservices Patterns

wshobson/agents

Built for architects transitioning from monoliths to distributed systems, this handles the messy realities of microservices design. It covers service decomposition strategies using domain-driven design, implements communication patterns from REST to event streaming with Kafka, and tackles data consistency with saga patterns. The resilience patterns like circuit breakers and bulkheads are especially solid for preventing cascade failures. Use it when you're breaking apart a monolith, designing service boundaries, or need proven patterns for distributed transactions. The code examples show real implementation details, not just theory.

Microservices Patterns

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

When to Use This Skill

  • 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 Concepts

1. Service Decomposition Strategies

By Business Capability

  • Organize services around business functions
  • Each service owns its domain
  • Example: OrderService, PaymentService, InventoryService

By Subdomain (DDD)

  • Core domain, supporting subdomains
  • Bounded contexts map to services
  • Clear ownership and responsibility

Strangler Fig Pattern

  • Gradually extract from monolith
  • New functionality as microservices
  • Proxy routes to old/new systems

2. Communication Patterns

Synchronous (Request/Response)

  • REST APIs
  • gRPC
  • GraphQL

Asynchronous (Events/Messages)
