microservices architect
What it does
- Validation checkpoint: Each candidate service owns its data exclusively, has a clear public API contract, and can be deployed independently.
- Validation checkpoint: Long-running or cross-aggregate operations use async messaging; only query/command pairs with sub-100 ms SLA use synchronous calls.
- Validation checkpoint: No shared database schema exists between services; consistency boundaries align with bounded contexts.
- Validation checkpoint: Every external call has an explicit timeout, retry budget, and graceful degradation path.
- Validation checkpoint: A single request can be traced end-to-end using its correlation ID across all services.
- Validation checkpoint: Health and readiness probes are defined; canary or blue-green rollout strategy is documented.
- Apply domain-driven design for service boundaries
Requirements & configuration
- const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');

microservices-architect FAQ
What does the microservices-architect skill do?
Designs distributed system architectures, decomposes monoliths into bounded-context services, recommends communication patterns, and produces service boundary diagrams and resilience strategies. Use when designing distributed systems, decomposing monoliths, or implementing microservices patterns — including service boundaries, DDD, saga patterns, event sourcing, CQRS, service mesh, or distributed tracing. Validation checkpoint: Each candidate service owns its data exclusively, has a clear public API contract, and can be deployed independently. Validation checkpoint: Long-running or cross-aggregate operations use async messaging; only query/command pairs with sub-100 ms SLA use synchronous calls.
