SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Guides research and analysis for microservices architecture decisions—domain decomposition, bounded contexts, service boundary options and trade-offs, sync vs async integration patterns, data ownership and consistency considerations, API and contract evolution, Team Topologies alignment, and migration strategies from monoliths to microservices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured context mapping: identify bounded contexts, domain events, and ownership to inform boundary decisions.
  • Option matrices and ADRs: compare boundary options, document trade-offs, and capture decisions with rationale.
  • Strangler migration planning: plan incremental migration slices with risk assessment and cutover criteria.
  • NFR impact awareness: assess latency, reliability, operability, and cost per boundary.

Quick Start

Review this Skill to draft a context map and a three-option boundary matrix for your microservice estate.

Frequently Asked Questions about microservice-researcher

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify bounded contexts for microservice domain decomposition?▼

Identify bounded contexts for microservice domain decomposition by mapping domain events, ownership boundaries, and context maps to inform service boundary decisions. Structured context mapping reveals natural domain seams.

What is the best way to compare microservice boundary options and trade-offs?▼

The best way to compare microservice boundary options is generating an option matrix evaluating trade-offs across data ownership, sync vs async integration, and NFR impacts like latency and reliability. ADRs capture the decision rationale.

How do I plan a strangler migration from a monolith to microservices?▼

Plan a strangler migration from a monolith to microservices by defining incremental migration slices, assessing risks, and establishing cutover criteria. This approach gradually replaces legacy functionality while maintaining system operability.

How does Team Topologies alignment affect microservice architecture decisions?▼

Team Topologies alignment affects microservice architecture by matching service boundaries to team cognitive load and communication pathways. Aligning boundaries with team structures ensures smooth ownership and operability.

When should I assess non-functional requirements for microservice boundaries?▼

Assess non-functional requirements for microservice boundaries during option evaluation to measure latency, reliability, operability, and cost impacts. NFR impact awareness prevents boundary choices that compromise system performance.

Can I document architecture decision records for microservice estate-wide boundaries?▼

Yes, you can document architecture decision records for microservice estate-wide boundaries by capturing option trade-offs and rationale. ADRs provide structured documentation for bounded context decisions and integration choices.
