microservices-architect

Designs distributed system architectures, decomposes monoliths into microservices, and documents resilience patterns. Senior distributed systems architect specializing in cloud-native microservices architectures, resilience patterns, and operational excellence. Load detailed guidance based on context: Propagate x-correlation-id in every outbound HTTP call and Kafka message header. /health/live — returns 200 if the process is running. /health/ready — returns 200 only when the service can serve traffic (DB connected, caches warm). When designing microservices architecture, provide: Domain-driven design, bounded contexts, event storming, REST/gRPC, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), service mesh (Istio, Linkerd), Kubernetes, circuit breakers, saga patterns, event sourcing, CQRS, distributed tracing (Jaeger, Zipkin), API gateways, eventual consistency, CAP theorem Documentation - Applies domain-driven design to identify bounded contexts and service boundaries; validates that each service owns its data exclusively and deploys independently - Covers communication design (REST, gRPC, async messaging), data strategies (database per service, event sourcing, CQRS), and resilience patterns (circuit breakers, sagas, bulkheads, timeouts) - Provides reference guides for decomposition, communication protocols, resilience patterns, data management, and observability with validation checkpoints...
