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.
