Can it help manage distributed transactions?

Yes, it includes detailed patterns for the Saga pattern to manage eventual consistency and orchestrate compensating transactions across multiple service boundaries.

Does it support event-driven architectures?

Absolutely, the skill provides templates and best practices for asynchronous communication patterns using event streaming and message queues like Kafka and RabbitMQ.

How does this skill help with monolith decomposition?

It provides specific implementation strategies like the Strangler Fig pattern and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles to extract services systematically while minimizing risk.

What resilience patterns are included?

It covers essential patterns to prevent cascading failures, including Circuit Breakers, Retry logic with exponential backoff, and Bulkhead isolation.

API Development

Implements robust microservices architectures through proven patterns for service decomposition, inter-service communication, and system resilience.

About

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to design, implement, and optimize microservices-based systems. It provides guidance on strategic service decomposition using Domain-Driven Design (DDD), distributed data management strategies like the Saga pattern, and critical resilience mechanisms such as circuit breakers and retries. Whether you are migrating a legacy monolith using the Strangler Fig pattern or building a new cloud-native event-driven system, this skill ensures best practices are followed to avoid common pitfalls like 'distributed monoliths' and tight coupling.
