Summary

  • add the standalone Topic 12 guide for architecture styles, modular monoliths, microservices, and service boundaries
  • compare layered, hexagonal, clean, SOA, event-driven, web-queue-worker, serverless, and microservice constraints
  • cover cohesion, coupling, bounded contexts, aggregates, domain and team ownership, database ownership, gateways, BFFs, service discovery, meshes, sidecars, and compatible contracts
  • evolve a modular order platform through worker and service extraction with strangler migration, anti-corruption layers, workflow states, and reconciliation
  • include production operations, observability, security, performance, testing, failure cases, exercises, interview answers, cheat sheet, and primary official references
  • register the page in the System Design navigation manifest

Validation

  • npm test
  • npm run build
  • Prettier check for the topic file and manifest
  • git diff --check
  • scope check confirms only the topic file and manifest changed
  • exact footer check passed
  • em dash check passed
  • raw code arrow check passed

Notes

  • 10,494 words
