service-integration

To integrate backend services safely, define changes in business terms, identify affected domains, and coordinate with owning teams to preserve boundaries. Follow existing patterns to ensure compatibility, contract-testing, and observability standards are maintained across services.

The best way to add events or APIs across domains is to design backward-compatible changes and validate them using contract-testing. This approach enforces security practices and leverages existing design docs to guide multi-service implementation safely.

Yes, contract-testing is required to modify backend jobs in a monorepo. It enforces compatibility and reliability standards when changes span multiple services with clear domain ownership, ensuring new jobs do not break existing service dependencies.

To maintain observability standards when extending backend APIs, design observable changes from the start and update existing runbooks if required. This ensures reliability monitoring continues seamlessly across domain boundaries during service integration.

You must coordinate with owning teams whenever changes span multiple services with clear domain boundaries. This team coordination is required to enforce compatibility, validate contracts, and preserve ownership boundaries during backend event integration.
