Design microservices architectures with service boundaries, event-driven communication, and resilience patterns. Use when building distributed systems, decomposing monoliths, or implementing microservices.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Microservices Patterns
Master microservices architecture patterns including service boundaries, inter-service communication, data management, and resilience patterns for building distributed systems.
## When to Use This Skill
- Decomposing monoliths into microservices
- Designing service boundaries and contracts
- Implementing inter-service communication
- Managing distributed data and transactions
- Building resilient distributed systems
- Implementing service discovery and load balancing
- Designing event-driven architectures
## Core Concepts
### 1. Service Decomposition Strategies
**By Business Capability**
- Organize services around business functions
- Each service owns its domain
- Example: OrderService, PaymentService, InventoryService
**By Subdomain (DDD)**
- Core domain, supporting subdomains
- Bounded contexts map to services
- Clear ownership and responsibility
**Strangler Fig Pattern**
- Gradually extract from monolith
- New functionality as microservices
- Proxy routes to old/new systems
### 2. Communication Patterns
**Synchronous (Request/Response)**
- REST APIs
- gRPC
- GraphQL
**Asynchronous (Events/Messages)**
- Event streaming (Kafka)

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260402.75421fa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
