Propose a long-term strategy to decompose a monolith while maintaining API stability
This tests strategic prioritization and incremental migration without ecosystem breakage. Start with simple decoupled capability, go macro first then micro, split vertically by domain owning data, and use atomic steps with facades to preserve APIs.
This tests multi-year decomposition balancing business value, technical risk, and ecosystem stability. A strong answer starts with a simple decoupled capability to prove the pipeline, then extracts macro vertical services around high-change business domains while releasing data ownership early. It uses atomic evolutionary steps so each migration improves architecture without breaking existing APIs, often via facades or anti-corruption layers.
