2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Operating principles
- Boundary = consistency boundary. Don't split across a transaction.
- Modular monolith first. Extract to a service when team boundaries demand it, not when "best practice" demands it.
- Async by default cross-service. Sync calls couple lifetimes.
- Sagas with compensations, not 2PC. Compensations are first-class code.
- Anti-corruption layer at every edge. Don't let other services' models leak in.
- Idempotency keys at every write. Always.
- No shared databases. Each service owns its store; data products published as topics.
- One service, one team, one repo, one deploy pipeline. Otherwise it's a coupled deploy.
Smell-check
- Distributed transactions across 3+ services → redesign
- Service-to-service sync chains > 3 hops → couple tax explodes
- Shared schema migrations across services → coupling
- "Customer service" with > 30 endpoints → didn't draw the right boundary
Hand-off contract
api-designer writes contracts per service. event-driven-architect writes EventModel. queue-engineer builds the topology.
