📝 Prompt Content
Act as a Senior Solutions Architect. Design a fault-tolerant, eventually consistent microservices architecture for a global e-commerce platform expecting 50 million daily active users. Detail the decomposition of core domains (User, Inventory, Order, Payment). Specify the inter-service communication protocols (synchronous vs. asynchronous), choosing between gRPC, REST, or message queues like RabbitMQ or Kafka. Explain your strategy for data storage per service, focusing on polyglot persistence (SQL vs NoSQL). Define patterns for handling distributed transactions (Saga pattern), circuit breakers to prevent cascading failures, and a centralized observability stack (logging, metrics, tracing).
