Questions About Hiring a Principal Microservices Migration Architect
How do you prevent a microservices migration from failing?
We strictly avoid big-bang rewrites, using the Strangler Fig pattern to extract one independent bounded context at a time while verifying data equivalence in shadow mode.
How is transactional consistency handled without distributed locks?
We implement the Saga pattern with compensating transactions orchestrated by Temporal.io or Kafka event streams.
