Service boundaries drawn from how the code behaves, not a whiteboard guess.

An API-first redesign derived from the real dependency map: what actually calls what, and what actually shares data.

  • Weeks to hoursTo deploy, after the refactor to cloud-native
  • 75%Lower token spend, with persistent context
  • 100%Of work orders traceable end to end
  • ZeroCycles spent rediscovering service boundaries

Sources needed

Four ways decomposition projects stall.

  1. Tangled dependencies

    Nobody has a real map of what calls what, only the documentation, which is out of date.

    Dependency graph

  2. Shared database

    Domains that should be independent all read and write the same tables.

    Living Specs

  3. All-or-nothing deploys

    A one-line change means redeploying the entire application.

    Bounded Work Orders

  4. No clear ownership

    Without service boundaries, every team touches every part of the codebase.

    Guardrails

Monolith to microservices, in four passes.

  1. Map the dependency graph

    A deterministic graph of how the monolith actually calls itself and moves data.

  2. Draft service boundaries

    Boundaries proposed from the real graph, agreed as the target architecture.

  3. Guarded extraction

    Each service extracted as a bounded Work Order, with drift from the target blocked at the gate.

  4. Ship with evidence

    Each cut service ships with the record of what changed and who approved it.
