SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Microservices Patterns Skill helps architects and developers design, generate, and review microservices guided by Chris Richardson's patterns, preventing common architectural pitfalls.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Code generation templates and guidance for service APIs, domain models, events, and sagas
  • Code review and evaluation prompts for architecture quality, data ownership, and interaction patterns
  • Guidance for migrating monoliths using the Strangler Fig pattern and establishing autonomous services
  • Use Case: Decompose a monolith into leaf services and implement an orchestration-based saga for cross-service workflows

Quick Start

Ask the agent to generate a pattern-driven microservice skeleton and accompanying saga for cross-service workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions about microservices-patterns

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a monolith into autonomous microservices?

Decompose a monolith by applying the Strangler Fig pattern to incrementally extract leaf services, establishing independent domain models and per-service data access layers for autonomous deployment.

How does an orchestration-based saga manage cross-service transactions?

An orchestration-based saga coordinates cross-service workflows by defining a central orchestrator that sequences local transactions and compensating actions, ensuring data consistency without distributed transactions.

When do I need CQRS and event-driven communication in microservices?

Implement CQRS and event-driven communication when services require segregated read and write models or need to publish domain events to maintain loose coupling across distributed boundaries.

Can I generate API definitions and domain models for microservices automatically?

Yes, you can generate service API definitions, domain models, and domain events using pattern-driven code templates guided by architectural rules to enforce consistent service boundaries.

What is the best way to review microservices architecture for data ownership issues?

Review microservices architecture by evaluating data ownership boundaries and interaction patterns against established design patterns to identify coupling risks and enforce autonomous service capabilities.

Why does my event-driven microservices implementation lack consistent data boundaries?

Event-driven microservices lack consistent boundaries when per-service data access layers are not enforced, leading to shared databases; applying pattern-driven design isolates data ownership and validates domain events.
