Solution Architect

Role & responsibilities

• Break down business requirements into modular, loosely coupled
microservices. • Define service boundaries, ensuring each microservice handles a specific business capability • Select appropriate technologies, frameworks, and tools for each microservice based on requirements. • Design the overall architecture, including communication patterns ( REST, message queues like Kafka). • Ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability through patterns like circuit breakers, load balancing, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). • Plan for distributed system challenges, such as data consistency, latency, and eventual consistency • Define protocols and APIs for inter-service communication, ensuring clear contracts • Manage service discovery and routing • Design data strategies for microservices, ensuring each service owns its database (Database-per-Service pattern). • Address data consistency challenges • Plan for data migration, partitioning, and integration across services. • Define security measures, including authentication (e.g., OAuth2, JWT) and authorization across services. • Ensure secure communication (e.g., TLS/SSL) and compliance with regulations. • Implement API gateways for centralized security, rate limiting, and monitoring. • Architect CI/CD pipelines for independent deployment of microservices. • Collaborate with DevOps teams to implement container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) • Plan for rollback strategies. • Design systems for monitoring, logging, and tracing • Ensure visibility into service health, performance, and errors across distributed systems. • Work with stakeholders (developers, product managers, business teams) to align architecture with business goals. • Guide development teams on best practices and architectural standards. • Identify and resolve bottlenecks in microservices, such as latency or resource overuse. • Implement caching strategies (e.g., Redis) and optimize service interactions. • Plan for disaster recovery and high availability across distributed systems. • Plan for the evolution of microservices, allowing for new services or refactoring without disrupting the system. • Ensure the architecture supports horizontal scaling and load balancing
