Microservice boundaries are defined by identifying bounded contexts within your domain to ensure per-service data ownership. Mapping these contexts allows you to group related domain logic and clearly separate service responsibilities for scalable architecture.

Decomposing a monolith involves evaluating service ownership across domains and enforcing per-service data ownership. You map bounded contexts to propose new services, define their interfaces, and establish an architectural plan with a clear rationale for the boundaries.

The saga pattern is used in microservice architectures to manage distributed transactions and maintain data consistency across services. It is recommended when enforcing event-driven communication and replacing traditional synchronous database transactions across bounded contexts.

Choosing communication patterns involves comparing synchronous, asynchronous, and event-driven approaches based on your service interfaces and data ownership requirements. The architectural plan evaluates these options to recommend the most suitable pattern for your specific domain interactions.

Yes, planning new microservice systems includes producing an architectural plan with proposed services, interfaces, and deployment considerations. You provide a domain description to generate an initial deployment outline and rationale for the chosen service boundaries.

Per-service data ownership is enforced in microservices to ensure loose coupling and maintain bounded contexts. It prevents services from sharing databases directly, requiring them to communicate through defined interfaces or event-driven patterns like CQRS and saga.
