What express-microservices-architecture does

This skill equips coding agents with architectural standards for distributed Node.js applications. It directs the assistant to structure independent services with isolated databases, configure an API Gateway, and set up event-driven communication using brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka.

Inside, the guide defines rules for middleware chains, router mounting, and resilient execution. It relies on four-argument middleware (err, req, res, next) for centralized error management and includes Circuit Breaker logic. For async operations, unhandled rejections fail silently unless forwarded through next(err).

What it helps with

  • route client requests to internal services via an API Gateway
  • coordinate multi-service workflows using Saga orchestration or choreography
  • decouple backend components with event producers and RabbitMQ or Kafka
  • configure global error middleware handling async exceptions with next(err)
  • separate database schemas across independent service boundaries

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create an Express API Gateway that routes traffic to user and order microservices
  • Implement an event consumer for RabbitMQ in an Express service to process payment events
  • Write centralized error handling middleware for async Express routes using next(err)
