Modular survivability architecture

Move from monolithic banking systems to decomposed services, microservices, modular recovery domains, and service-by-service survivability.

Pattern Description

Move from monolithic banking systems to decomposed services, microservices, modular recovery domains, and service-by-service survivability.

Signals / Evidence

Interview and framework signals: all-or-nothing banking systems force wide shutdowns; microservice design lets one service fail without stopping the whole bank. Handwritten framework also emphasized migration from monolith to services/microservices.

Risk Drivers That Made the Pattern Emerge

Monolithic core-banking failures; inability to isolate one failed service; broad customer disruption from narrow technical defects; cascade failure across tightly coupled systems.
