tomevault-io Microservices Patterns
Master microservices architecture patterns including service boundaries, inter-service communication, data management, and resilience patterns for building distributed systems.
Use this skill when
- 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
Do not use this skill when
- The system is small enough for a modular monolith
- You need a quick prototype without distributed complexity
- There is no operational support for distributed systems
Instructions
- Identify domain boundaries and ownership for each service.
- Define contracts, data ownership, and communication patterns.
- Plan resilience, observability, and deployment strategy.
- Provide migration steps and operational guardrails.

Memory-First Protocol
Retrieve prior API design decisions, database schema choices, and error handling patterns. Cache API response templates for consistent error formatting.
# Check for prior backend/API context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "API design patterns and architecture decisions for Microservices Patterns"
Storing Results
After completing work, store backend/API decisions for future sessions:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
--content "API architecture: REST with HATEOAS, JWT auth, rate limiting at 100 req/min per tenant" \
--type decision --project <project> \
--tags microservices-patterns backend
Multi-Agent Collaboration
Share API contract changes with frontend agents so they update their client code, and with QA agents for test coverage.
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
--agent "<your-agent>" \
--action "Implemented API endpoints — 5 new routes with OpenAPI spec and integration tests" \
--project <project>
Agent Team: Code Review
After implementation, dispatch code_review_team for two-stage review (spec compliance + code quality) before merging.
