Does it support event-driven communication?

Yes, it includes detailed implementation patterns for Kafka-based event streaming, message queues, and pub/sub mechanisms to ensure loose coupling between services.

What resilience patterns are included?

It covers critical fault-tolerance patterns such as Circuit Breakers to prevent cascading failures, Bulkheads for resource isolation, and Retries with exponential backoff.

How are distributed transactions managed?

The skill guides you through implementing the Saga pattern, using both orchestrators and compensating actions to maintain data consistency across distributed databases.

How does this skill help with monolith decomposition?

It provides tactical strategies like the Strangler Fig pattern and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to help identify logical service boundaries and extract them safely into independent services.

API Development

Architects robust distributed systems using service boundaries, event-driven communication, and resilience patterns.

About

The Microservices Patterns skill provides specialized guidance for building scalable, resilient distributed systems by offering deep expertise in modern architectural strategies. It assists developers in navigating complex decisions, from decomposing monoliths using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to implementing sophisticated inter-service communication models like event streaming and gRPC. Whether you are managing distributed transactions through the Saga pattern, ensuring system reliability with circuit breakers, or designing efficient API gateways for data aggregation, this skill delivers the implementation patterns and best practices required to maintain high-availability microservices.
