Setting up Axios clients for multiple microservices is done using a factory function that creates domain-specific instances with environment-driven base URLs. This pattern centralizes configuration and avoids duplicating client setup logic across your application.

Adding HMAC request signing to API calls is handled by generating signatures and including them in your requests. This skill integrates signature generation directly into the Axios client setup, ensuring all outgoing domain requests are automatically signed.

Organizing API service functions by domain involves grouping async calls into dedicated modules under src/lib/api/. This pattern improves maintainability by separating contacts, employees, IDM, and MDM logic into distinct service files.

Using encrypted tokens for authentication across different backend services is fully supported. The system retrieves and decrypts tokens before inclusion in requests, allowing you to apply multiple authentication patterns across your various microservices.

Handling errors consistently across multiple Axios API clients is achieved by centralizing error handling logic within the factory function. This ensures every domain-specific client processes and surfaces request failures uniformly.
