Monolith decomposition involves identifying and sizing components, flattening the architecture, and analyzing coupling to cluster them into domain-aligned contexts. This process generates a domain map and a concrete plan to guide structured refactoring.

Identifying bounded contexts requires analyzing component coupling and hierarchy across the repository to find natural domain groupings. This reveals architectural boundaries aligned with business domains and highlights viable extraction points for refactoring.

You analyze coupling by inventorying components and sizing them by statements and files to reveal decomposition hotspots. This workflow flattens the architecture and exposes heavily coupled areas requiring targeted refactoring.

Yes, you can apply domain-driven design principles to guide monolith decomposition by grouping components into domain-aligned units. The workflow clusters architectural components into bounded contexts reflecting DDD patterns.

No, the monolith decomposition workflow operates without external dependencies. It loads pattern guidance from reference files and uses optional resources to output a domain map and a decomposition plan.

You should avoid structured monolith decomposition when your architecture lacks sufficient component coupling complexity to warrant domain grouping. If components are already loosely coupled, applying a multi-pattern decomposition workflow adds unnecessary overhead.
