Does it cover asynchronous messaging patterns?

Absolutely, it details patterns like Pub/Sub, Event Sourcing, and CQRS to help decouple services and handle long-running operations.

How does this skill help with service design?

It provides specific metrics for team size, code volume, and deployment targets to ensure services remain manageable and properly scoped within bounded contexts.

Can it help choose between REST and gRPC?

Yes, it includes a detailed decision tree to help you select the right protocol based on performance requirements, CRUD needs, and technical complexity.

What is included in the communication checklist?

The checklist covers essential production requirements including protocol selection, contract definition, timeout configuration, and circuit breaker setup.
