Does it support distributed transactions?

Yes, it implements the Saga pattern for both orchestration and choreography to manage complex transactions across multiple services.

Can I use this for event-driven design?

Absolutely. It includes best practices for asynchronous messaging, pub/sub patterns, and event streaming architectures.

How does this skill assist with monolithic decomposition?

It provides structured patterns like the Strangler Fig and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) boundaries to identify and extract services safely.

What resilience patterns are included?

It covers essential patterns for distributed systems including Circuit Breakers, Retries with exponential backoff, and Bulkhead isolation.
