name: microservices description: Deep microservices workflow—service boundaries, data ownership, synchronous vs async integration, contracts, deployment independence, and operational complexity. Use when splitting a monolith, reviewing service boundaries, or debugging distributed failures.

Microservices (Deep Workflow)

Microservices trade code simplicity for operational and contract complexity. Justify each boundary with ownership and data isolation—not fashion.

When to Offer This Workflow

Trigger conditions:

• Splitting the monolith; coupling blocks independent deploys
• Latency cascades, partial failures, contract breaks
• Conway’s law alignment between teams and services

Initial offer:

Use six stages: (1) goals & constraints, (2) boundaries & data ownership, (3) integration patterns, (4) contracts & versioning, (5) reliability patterns, (6) ops & governance). Confirm org maturity and platform capabilities.

Stage 1: Goals & Constraints

Goal: Why not a modular monolith first?

Valid drivers

• Independent deploy cadence per team
• Different scaling profiles or stacks
• Clear domain ownership and blast-radius isolation

Costs

• Distributed transactions, harder debugging, broader test matrix

Exit condition: Explicit assumption that modular monolith was considered.

Stage 2: Boundaries & Data Ownership

Goal: One service owns each aggregate’s write path; no shared writable tables across services.

Practices

• Bounded contexts from DDD when helpful

Exit condition: Entity → owning service map.

Stage 3: Integration Patterns

Goal: Sync HTTP/gRPC vs async events—match consistency needs.

Patterns

• Sagas or outbox for multi-step business processes

Exit condition: Sequence diagrams for top three flows.

Stage 4: Contracts & Versioning

Goal: Backward-compatible evolution; consumer-driven contracts optional.

Practices

• Deprecation policy published

Stage 5: Reliability Patterns

Goal: Timeouts, retries with backoff, circuit breakers, bulkheads; idempotent handlers for retries.

Stage 6: Ops & Governance

Goal: Service catalog, SLIs on dependency edges, golden paths for new services.

Final Review Checklist

• [ ] Boundary and data ownership clear
• [ ] Integration style matches consistency needs
• [ ] Contract versioning policy exists
• [ ] Reliability patterns applied at boundaries
• [ ] Ops ownership and catalog in place

Tips for Effective Guidance

• Microservices without delivery maturity often fail—say so explicitly.
• Shared databases are hidden coupling—flag them.
• The network is not reliable—design for partial failure.

Handling Deviations

• Small teams: strong bias toward modular monolith or few services.

這是一份紮實的微服務架構指南，內容全面、結構清晰，對服務邊界、資料所有權、整合方式等關鍵問題都有深入討論。優點是提供了實用的檢查清單和決策權衡思路；不足是缺少實際案例，部分內容偏概念性，缺乏具體操作指導。總體質量良好，適合有一定經驗的開發者參考使用。
