Monolith-to-Microservices Decomposition Plan
"Monolith-to-Microservices Decomposition Plan" is a ready-made prompt from the Zayenha Prompt library in Programming & Tech, written for claude-sonnet-4-7. It has a main prompt to copy into the model, built-in quality guards, and a verification prompt to run in a second window to review the answer. The full text needs the Pro plan; the description is open to all.
Analyze a monolith and decompose it into microservices with domain-driven boundaries, a gradual migration plan, and clear trade-offs, without inventing nonexistent frameworks or APIs.
Your current plan: free
Planning the exit from a bloated monolith that slows deployment, identifying the first service to safely extract, preparing a decomposition document for the engineering team before starting.
Built-in quality guards
No fabricated frameworks, message libraries, or APIs absent from the stack
Each service validates input and enforces authorization with zero implicit trust
Cover boundaries, data, communication, migration, and risks without truncation
Adherence to the six-section structure and service/phase tables
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this prompt?
Copy the main prompt and paste it into claude-sonnet-4-7 or the model you use, replace what is in square brackets with your details, then run the verification prompt in a second window with the answer pasted in, and review it before relying on it.
Is this prompt free?
Its full text requires the Pro plan or higher. Free prompts you can copy at once without an account are on the ready-made Arabic prompts page.
Which model was this prompt written for?
It was written for claude-sonnet-4-7 and follows how that model works; you can run it on other models too, reviewing the result, since no single wording guarantees the best result on every model.
