What this skill does
Microservices Expert Expert guidance for microservices architecture, design patterns, service communication, and distributed system challenges. Core Concepts Microservices Principles Single responsibility per service Independently deployable Decentralized data management Infrastructure automation Design for failure Evolutionary design Architecture Patterns API Gateway Service Discovery Circuit Breaker Saga Pattern Event Sourcing CQRS Communication Synchronous (HTTP/REST, gRPC) Asynchronous (Message queues, Events) Service mesh API composition Backend for Frontend (BFF) Service Design Saga Pattern (Distributed Transactions) Service Discovery API Gateway Event-Driven Architecture Best Practices Design Keep services small and focused Design for failure (circuit breakers, retries) Use asynchronous communication when possible Implement proper service boundaries Avoid distributed monoliths Use API versioning Implement health checks Data Management Database per service Use eventual consistency Implement saga pattern for distributed transactions Use event sourcing for audit trails Cache aggressively Avoid distributed joins Operations Implement distributed tracing Centralized logging Monitor service health Automate deployments Use service mesh for cross-cutting concerns Implement feature flags Practice chaos engineering Anti-Patterns ❌ Distributed monolith ❌ Shared database between services ❌ Synchronous communication everywhere ❌ No service versioning ❌ Tight coupling between services ❌ No circuit breakers ❌ Missing distributed tracing Resources Microservices Patterns: https://microservices.io/patterns/ Building Microservices (book) Service Mesh: https://istio.io/ Consul: https://www.consul.io/ RabbitMQ: https://www.rabbitmq.com/
