What communication protocols are supported?

The skill covers both synchronous communication patterns using REST, gRPC, and GraphQL, as well as asynchronous messaging using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS.

How does it improve system reliability?

It incorporates resilience patterns such as Circuit Breakers to prevent cascading failures and Retries with Exponential Backoff to handle transient network issues.

Does it handle data consistency across services?

Yes, it implements the Saga pattern to manage distributed transactions through local transactions and compensating actions, ensuring eventual consistency without distributed locks.

Can I use this for API Gateway design?

Yes, it includes patterns for centralizing entry points, request aggregation, and handling partial failures at the gateway level.

How does this skill help with monolithic decomposition?

It provides guided strategies like the Strangler Fig pattern and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to identify service boundaries and safely migrate functionality to independent services.

API Development

Design and implement scalable microservices using proven patterns for service decomposition, event-driven communication, and system resilience.

About

This skill empowers developers to architect robust distributed systems by providing deep expertise in microservices patterns. It covers essential strategies for decomposing monoliths using Domain-Driven Design, managing distributed data via the Saga pattern, and ensuring system stability through resilience patterns like Circuit Breakers and Bulkheads. Whether you are building an API Gateway or implementing asynchronous event-driven messaging, this skill provides the implementation logic and best practices required for modern, production-grade backend engineering.
