💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers design and implement robust internal microservices in Laravel 13, addressing challenges related to service boundaries, communication, and event-driven architecture.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Service Boundaries: Defines clear domain ownership and bounded context principles for each service.
  • Database Ownership: Implements rules to avoid direct database access across services and enforce service API access.
  • Communication Strategy: Offers guidance on preferred communication methods (events, gRPC, REST) and decision matrices.
  • Event-Driven Integration: Provides examples on defining, publishing, and listening to events across services.
  • Saga Pattern: Explains distributed transactions and the saga pattern with compensating actions.
  • Service Discovery: Covers DNS-based and configuration-based discovery methods.
  • Observability: Discusses structured logging and distributed tracing.
  • Health Checks: Includes health check implementation examples.
  • Deployment & CI/CD: Offers Docker Compose configurations for local development and guidance on CI/CD pipelines.
  • Microservices Enterprise Checklist: Provides a comprehensive checklist for microservices development.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define service boundaries in a Laravel microservices architecture?

Defining service boundaries in Laravel microservices requires establishing clear domain ownership and bounded context principles for each service. This ensures each service maintains strict separation of concerns and data ownership.

How do I handle distributed transactions in Laravel microservices?

Distributed transactions in Laravel microservices are managed using the saga pattern with compensating actions. This approach coordinates multi-service transactions and safely reverses operations if a step fails.

What is the best way to implement event-driven communication between Laravel microservices?

Event-driven communication between Laravel microservices is best implemented by defining, publishing, and listening to events across services. This decouples services and enables asynchronous data synchronization.

How do I enforce database ownership and prevent direct database access across microservices?

Enforcing database ownership in microservices involves implementing rules that prevent direct database access across services. Services must interact exclusively through service APIs to maintain isolation.

How do I implement service discovery for internal Laravel microservices?

Service discovery for internal Laravel microservices can be implemented using DNS-based or configuration-based discovery methods. These approaches allow services to dynamically locate and communicate with each other.

How do I add observability and distributed tracing to a Laravel microservices project?

Adding observability to Laravel microservices involves implementing structured logging and distributed tracing across all services. This provides end-to-end visibility into request flows and system health.
