Executive Summary
Current State: Monorepo with Shared Packages
- Structure: Turborepo-based monorepo with multiple products
- Tech Stack: Next.js, React, React Native, Prisma, MongoDB
- Package Manager: Bun v1.2.19
- Build Tool: Turborepo
- Deployment: Unified build process
Target State: Microservices + Micro-Frontend
- Architecture: Domain-driven microservices with independent deployments
- Frontend: Micro-frontend modules per domain
- Backend: Separate containerized services per business domain
- Communication: REST/gRPC APIs between services
- Orchestration: Docker Compose (dev) + Kubernetes (prod ready)
- Data: Separate databases per service (Database per Service pattern)
Key Benefits
✅ Independent scaling per domain ✅ Technology flexibility per service ✅ Faster deployment cycles ✅ Team ownership per domain ✅ Better fault isolation ✅ Easier testing & debugging

Synchronous (REST/gRPC):
- API Gateway → Services
- Services → Authentication validation
- Frontend → Service APIs
Asynchronous (Event-Driven):
- Order Service → Analytics Service (order-created event)
- Product Service → Analytics Service (product-viewed event)
- User Service → Notification Service (user-registered event)
- Any Service → Notification Service (action events)
Data Sharing:
- Service-to-Service: API calls with circuit breaker pattern
- Caching: Redis for frequently accessed data
- Search: Elasticsearch for product catalog
Component Inventory & Mapping
📦 Packages to Microservices Mapping
| Current Package | Target Microservice(s) | Type | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
@repo/db | All services | Shared | Migrate to service-specific schemas |
@repo/auth | Auth Service | Core | Becomes Auth Service core |
@repo/core (validators) | All services | Shared | Replicate validators to each service |
@repo/permissions | Auth Service + API Gateway | Core | Centralize in Auth Service |
@repo/http-client | All services | Shared | Keep as NPM package, use by all |
@repo/helpers | All services | Utility | Replicate or maintain as package |
@repo/hooks | All MFE modules | UI | Move to respective micro-frontend |
@repo/i18n | Shell module + All | UI | Keep as shared, reference by all |
@repo/components/ | Product/UI modules | UI | Move to specific MFE modules |
@repo/ui-<*> | Shell module | UI | Becomes design system in shell |
@repo/icons-<*> | Shell module | UI | Becomes icon library in shell |

# Repeat for other services...Risks & Mitigation
⚠️ Technical Risks
| Risk | Impact | Likelihood | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data consistency across services | HIGH | MEDIUM | Implement event sourcing, saga pattern, distributed transactions |
| Network latency between services | MEDIUM | HIGH | Service mesh, caching, async processing |
| Cascading failures | CRITICAL | MEDIUM | Circuit breakers, timeouts, fallbacks, bulkheads |
| Database transaction limitations | HIGH | HIGH | Compensating transactions, eventual consistency |
| Debugging distributed systems | HIGH | HIGH | Distributed tracing (Jaeger), centralized logging |
| Service discovery failures | HIGH | MEDIUM | Use Kubernetes DNS, health checks, load balancer |
🛡️ Mitigation Strategies
1. Circuit Breaker Pattern
Service A → [Circuit Breaker] → Service B
States: CLOSED (normal) → OPEN (failing) → HALF_OPEN (testing recovery)2. Eventual Consistency
- Accept temporary inconsistency
- Implement reconciliation jobs
- Use event logs for audit trail
3. Distributed Tracing
- Add trace IDs to all requests
- Log trace ID in every service
- Use Jaeger for visualization
4. Comprehensive Monitoring
- Service health checks
- Request/response times
- Error rates per service
- Resource utilization
5. Staged Rollout
- Canary deployment (5% traffic)
- Blue-green deployment
- Feature flags for gradual rollout
- Quick rollback procedures
📈 Migration Risks
| Phase | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Infrastructure setup delays | Start early, use templates |
| Phase 2 | Module federation complexity | Proof of concept first |
| Phase 3 | Data migration errors | Extensive testing, parallel running, rollback plan |
| Phase 4 | Service integration issues | Integration tests, end-to-end tests |
| Phase 5 | Monolithic API decommission | Gradual rollout, deprecation warnings |
Implementation Checklist
Phase 1: Foundation
- Create infrastructure directory structure
- Write Dockerfile templates
- Create docker-compose.yml

Phase 2: Micro-Frontend
- Create shell application
- Implement module federation
- Extract auth module
- Extract product module
- Extract order module
- Extract analytics module
- Module communication setup
- Error handling & boundaries
Phase 3: Core Services
- Auth Service implementation

After full migration, measure:
✅ Performance:
- API response time: < 200ms p99
- Service startup time: < 30s
- Deployment time: < 5m per service
- Database query time: < 50ms p99
✅ Reliability:
- System uptime: > 99.9%
- Error rate: < 0.1%
- MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery): < 15m
- Zero cascading failures in production
✅ Development:
- Local development setup time: < 10m
- Build time per service: < 2m
- Test execution time: < 5m
- Deployment frequency: Daily
✅ Scaling:
- Horizontal scaling: Services scale independently
- Resource utilization: 60-70%
- Cost optimization: Pay per service, not total
- Peak load handling: 5x traffic increase
