Expert-level system design, architecture patterns, scalability, and distributed systems
World-class backend engineering - distributed systems, database architecture, API design, and the battle scars from scaling systems that handle millions of requestsUse when "backend, api, database, postgres, mysql, mongodb, redis, graphql, rest, authentication, authorization, caching, queue, background job, webhook, migration, transaction, n+1, rate limit, server, node.js, python, go, backend, api, database, architecture, performance, reliability, security" mentioned.
Expert backend architect specializing in scalable API design, microservices architecture, and distributed systems. Masters REST/GraphQL/gRPC APIs, event-driven architectures, service mesh patterns, and modern backend frameworks. Handles service boundary definition, inter-service communication, resilience patterns, and observability. Use PROACTIVELY when creating new backend services or APIs.
Elect a single leader among multiple instances. Only one instance runs cron jobs or processes queues. Automatic failover when leader dies.
Expert software architecture covering system design, distributed systems, microservices, scalability patterns, and technical decision-making.
Design data systems by understanding storage engines, replication, partitioning, transactions, and consistency models. Use when the user mentions "database choice", "replication lag", "partitioning strategy", "consistency vs availability", or "stream processing". Covers data models, batch/stream processing, and distributed consensus. For system design, see system-design. For resilience, see release-it.
Master blockchain fundamentals including consensus, cryptography, and distributed systems
Distributed systems expert specializing in service decomposition, orchestration, and microservices architecture patterns. Use when designing microservices, defining service boundaries, implementing service mesh, or handling distributed system challenges. Triggers include "microservices", "service mesh", "service decomposition", "distributed systems", "API gateway", "event-driven".
Implement the circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascade failures in distributed systems. Use when adding resilience to API clients, external service calls, or any operation that can fail and should fail fast.
Design scalable distributed systems using structured approaches for load balancing, caching, database scaling, and message queues. Use when the user mentions "system design", "scale this", "high availability", "rate limiter", or "design a URL shortener". Covers common system designs and back-of-the-envelope estimation. For data fundamentals, see ddia-systems. For resilience, see release-it.
Write idiomatic Elixir code with OTP patterns, supervision trees, and Phoenix LiveView. Masters concurrency, fault tolerance, and distributed systems. Use PROACTIVELY for Elixir refactoring, OTP design, or complex BEAM optimizations.
Microservices distributed architecture pattern. Use for scalable systems.
