Microservices Architect

Skill Verified Active

Designs distributed system architectures, decomposes monoliths into bounded-context services, recommends communication patterns, and produces service boundary diagrams and resilience strategies. Use when designing distributed systems, decomposing monoliths, or implementing microservices patterns — including service boundaries, DDD, saga patterns, event sourcing, CQRS, service mesh, or distributed tracing.

Purpose

To provide expert guidance and structured workflows for designing, decomposing, and implementing robust microservices architectures.

Features

Designs distributed system architectures
Decomposes monoliths into bounded-context services
Recommends communication patterns (sync/async)
Produces service boundary diagrams and resilience strategies
Covers DDD, event sourcing, CQRS, service mesh, and distributed tracing

Use Cases

Designing new distributed systems from scratch
Decomposing existing monolithic applications into microservices
Implementing microservices patterns like DDD, sagas, and CQRS
Choosing appropriate communication protocols and resilience strategies

Non-Goals

Writing actual code for services
Configuring deployment pipelines directly
Managing infrastructure for microservices
Providing specific framework implementations beyond illustrative examples

Practices

Domain-Driven Design
API Design
Resilience Patterns
Asynchronous Communication
Event-Driven Architecture

System Design

Design scalable distributed systems using structured approaches for load balancing, caching, database scaling, and message queues. Use when the user mentions "system design", "scale this", "high availability", "rate limiter", "design a URL shortener", "system design interview", "capacity planning", or "distributed architecture". Also trigger when estimating infrastructure requirements, choosing between microservices and monoliths, or designing for millions of concurrent users. Covers common system designs and back-of-the-envelope estimation. For data fundamentals, see ddia-systems. For resilience, see release-it.

Instrument Distributed Tracing

Instrument applications with OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing, including auto and manual instrumentation, context propagation, sampling strategies, and integration with Jaeger or Tempo. Use when debugging latency issues in distributed systems, understanding request flow across microservices, correlating traces with logs and metrics for root cause analysis, measuring end-to-end latency, or migrating from legacy tracing systems to OpenTelemetry.
