Microservices

Design and build microservices architectures with service discovery, API gateways, and event-driven patterns.

How it works

Designs microservice architectures: service boundaries based on domain-driven design, inter-service communication (sync REST/gRPC, async events), data ownership patterns, and distributed transaction handling (saga pattern). Generates service mesh configs, API gateways, and circuit breakers.

Example prompts

Design microservice boundaries for my e-commerce monolith

Implement the saga pattern for distributed order processing

Add circuit breakers and retry logic between services

Real-world example

A monolith serving 50K users was decomposed into 5 services: the skill identified bounded contexts (orders, inventory, payments, notifications, users), designed the event-driven communication, and generated saga orchestration for the order flow — enabling independent deployment and scaling.
