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)

7w4.net收录了海量优质技能插件。

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.

这是一份扎实的微服务架构指南，内容全面、结构清晰，对服务边界、数据所有权、集成方式等关键问题都有深入讨论。优点是提供了实用的检查清单和决策权衡思路；不足是缺少实际案例，部分内容偏概念性，缺乏具体操作指导。总体质量良好，适合有一定经验的开发者参考使用。
