Best for

▸Designing microservice boundaries for legacy Flask monoliths using domain-driven design
▸Implementing distributed transaction patterns (Saga, CQRS) across Flask services
▸Setting up production-grade Flask service deployment with Docker and Kubernetes
▸Architecting API gateways and service mesh communication for Flask microservices
▸Building observability pipelines with OpenTelemetry for Flask distributed systems

What you'll get

●Service boundary analysis with bounded context diagrams and Flask application factory code for each microservice
●Complete API contract specifications with Flask-RESTful endpoints, request/response schemas, and versioning strategy
●Production deployment manifests with Docker Compose, Kubernetes YAML, and Helm charts for Flask microservice clusters

Not designed for ↓

×Basic Flask web application development or single-service Flask apps
×Non-Python microservices architectures (Spring Boot, .NET, Node.js)
×Frontend React/Vue integration with Flask APIs
×Machine learning model serving architectures

Expects

Existing Flask application codebase, business domain requirements, and production scaling constraints that require microservice decomposition.

Returns

Complete microservice architecture blueprints with Flask application factory patterns, API contracts, deployment configurations, and inter-service communication strategies.
