Microservice Architect

About

Microservice Architect provides a structured framework for designing robust, distributed systems from the ground up. By leveraging principles like Domain-Driven Design (DDD), this skill assists developers in defining clear service boundaries, choosing optimal communication protocols such as gRPC or REST, and implementing reliable data management strategies like the Saga pattern. It ensures comprehensive documentation through C4 model architecture diagrams and standardized OpenAPI service contracts, helping teams transition from monolithic structures to maintainable, loosely coupled microservices.

Key Features

• Standardized documentation using C4 model diagrams and OpenAPI contracts
• Communication pattern selection matrix for REST, gRPC, and messaging
• 0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Refactoring a monolithic application into a microservices-based system
• Designing a new cloud-native application architecture from scratch
• Standardizing service communication and API contracts across a development team
