Microservices Architecture Models

Use When

• The three NGINX Microservices Reference Architecture networking models — Proxy, Router Mesh, and Fabric — with a model selection decision tree, API gateway design, and service discovery patterns. Invoke during HLD for any microservices-based...
• The task needs reusable judgment, domain constraints, or a proven workflow rather than ad hoc advice.

Do Not Use When

• The task is unrelated to microservices-architecture-models or would be better handled by a more specific companion skill.
• The request only needs a trivial answer and none of this skill's constraints or references materially help.

Required Inputs

• Gather relevant project context, constraints, and the concrete problem to solve.
• Confirm the desired deliverable: design, code, review, migration plan, audit, or documentation.
