How does this skill help with monolith decomposition?

It provides structural patterns like the Strangler Fig to gradually extract services and strategies to define boundaries based on business capabilities or DDD subdomains.

Does it cover distributed transactions?

The skill provides guidance on the Saga pattern to manage eventual consistency and coordinating compensating transactions across distributed services without shared databases.

What resilience patterns are included?

It provides implementation logic for Circuit Breakers, Exponential Backoff, and Bulkhead patterns to prevent cascading failures in distributed environments.

Can I use this for event-driven systems?

Yes, it includes specialized implementation patterns for Kafka, message queues, and pub/sub models to facilitate asynchronous communication.

API Development

Implements distributed systems architectures using service boundaries, event-driven messaging, and high-resilience design patterns.

About

This skill empowers developers to architect scalable distributed systems by providing implementation patterns for service decomposition, inter-service communication, and data consistency. It covers critical architectural strategies such as the Strangler Fig pattern for migrating monoliths, the Saga pattern for distributed transactions, and circuit breakers for system resilience. Whether you are building a new system from scratch or modernizing a legacy application, this skill ensures your microservices are loosely coupled, highly available, and logically organized around business capabilities.
