Distributed Monolith Detection And Remediation

Use When

• Multiple services require lockstep releases
• Synchronous call chains frequently fail under load

Workflow

1. Audit coupling hotspots: synchronous depth, shared schemas, release dependencies.
2. Identify anti-patterns (shared DB, chatty RPC, implicit contracts).
3. Define target decoupling strategy by dependency class.
4. Introduce contract versioning and async boundaries where needed.
5. Track dependency reduction and release independence metrics.
