Can this skill help me choose between a Monolith and Microservices?

Yes, it provides a detailed decision matrix based on factors like team size, domain complexity, deployment frequency, and operational maturity.

Is this skill useful for startups building an MVP?

Absolutely. It specifically addresses when a monolith is preferred for development speed and lower operational complexity during the early stages of a product.

What architecture patterns does this skill cover?

It covers a wide range of patterns including Monoliths, Microservices, Serverless, Event-Driven (CQRS/Event Sourcing), Hexagonal Architecture, and Clean Architecture.

Does it provide code implementation examples?

Yes, the skill includes TypeScript examples for various patterns, such as Lambda handlers for Serverless and domain-driven repository patterns for Hexagonal Architecture.
