What happens when your AI sounds confident and gets the facts wrong? It’s a situation many teams are running into. The model responds quickly, the tone is confident, but the facts don’t hold up. And when that happens in a business-critical…
Microservices Architecture Design
Service boundaries that enable teams to move independently
The most common microservices failure is decomposing services incorrectly — drawing boundaries around technical layers instead of business capabilities, creating chatty services that defeat the purpose of decomposition, or breaking things apart before the team has the operational maturity to run a distributed system. We design microservices architectures grounded in domain-driven design and tested against your team structure and operational capability.
- Domain-driven design (DDD) — bounded context identification, aggregate design, and ubiquitous language definition that aligns service boundaries with business domains
- Service decomposition strategy — systematic analysis of coupling, cohesion, and change frequency to identify the right granularity for your context
- Inter-service communication patterns — synchronous REST/gRPC for query patterns, asynchronous messaging for commands, and CQRS for read/write separation
- Data ownership and isolation — each service owns its data, with explicit contracts for sharing and synchronisation — no shared databases across service boundaries
- Distributed transaction patterns — saga pattern, outbox pattern, and eventual consistency strategies for operations that span multiple services
- Service contract management — API versioning, consumer-driven contract testing (Pact), and backward-compatibility strategies for independently deployable services
