# 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 1. Identify domain boundaries and ownership for each service. 2. Define contracts, data ownership, and communication patterns. 3. Plan resilience, observability, and deployment strategy. 4. Provide migration steps and operational guardrails. ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output

What does the microservices-patterns skill do?
Master microservices architecture patterns including service boundaries, inter-service communication, data management, and resilience patterns for building distributed systems.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill microservices-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
