Does this skill help with existing projects?

Yes, it provides defined migration paths to help you transition your current code from a Monolith to a Service Layer or Microservice architecture as your scale increases.

When should I use the Monolith variant?

The Monolith variant is best for MVPs, small teams (1-5 developers), and applications with fewer than 10,000 daily active users where speed to market is the primary goal.

How do I decide between Service Layer and Microservice?

Use the Service Layer for teams of 5-20 and up to 100k DAU. Choose Microservices for enterprise-scale needs (20+ developers, 100k+ DAU) where strict SLAs and full failure isolation are required.

What technical patterns are included?

The skill includes patterns for TypeScript implementations, singleton clients, background processing with queues, gRPC for internal comms, and circuit breaker patterns.

API Development

Implements validated architecture blueprints for Exa integrations ranging from simple monoliths to enterprise-scale microservices.

Exa Architecture Variants is a specialized skill designed to guide developers in structuring Exa-powered applications for any scale. It provides three distinct, battle-tested blueprints—Monolith, Service Layer, and Microservice—complete with directory structures, code patterns, and implementation guidance. By utilizing a data-driven decision matrix based on team size and daily active users (DAU), the skill helps you choose the right starting point and provides clear migration paths as your application grows, ensuring long-term maintainability and performance.

Key Features

01Pre-defined directory structures and boilerplate code patterns

021 GitHub stars

03Step-by-step migration paths for scaling your infrastructure

04Scale-based decision matrix for team size and DAU requirements

05Three validated architecture blueprints (Monolith, Service Layer, Microservice)
