Best for

▸Decomposing monolith into bounded context microservices using DDD
▸Implementing saga pattern for distributed transactions across services
▸Designing service mesh communication with circuit breakers and retries
▸Planning monolith-to-microservices migration with strangler fig pattern
▸Architecting event-driven microservices with CQRS and event sourcing

What you'll get

●Service decomposition blueprint with bounded context mapping, API contracts, and data ownership boundaries based on DDD analysis
●Detailed migration roadmap with strangler fig implementation phases, risk mitigation strategies, and rollback procedures
●Communication architecture diagram with service mesh configuration, circuit breaker policies, and observability instrumentation requirements

Not designed for ↓

×Basic CRUD application development or simple three-tier architectures
×Frontend application architecture or UI component design patterns
×Database schema design without distributed systems context
×Generic cloud migration without microservices decomposition strategy

Expects

Current system architecture details, team structure, business domain complexity, and specific scalability or organizational challenges driving microservices adoption.

Returns

Detailed architectural recommendations with service boundaries, communication patterns, data consistency strategies, migration roadmaps, and technology stack guidance with trade-off analysis.
