🏗️ Agent Microservice Standard Blueprint

📘 What Is a Microservice Standard Blueprint?

A Microservice Standard Blueprint is a machine- and human-readable specification of an individual service within the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory. It defines the contract, behavior, interfaces, boundaries, and deployment profile of a microservice — automatically generated by the platform from domain signals, agent context, and system modeling artifacts.

This blueprint is the core build instruction for a microservice — equivalent to what a senior architect and lead developer would document before implementation.

🏗️ What It Captures

Each Microservice Standard Blueprint includes:

  • 📛 Service Identity: name, namespace, trace ID, domain context
  • 📦 Responsibility & Capability: clearly defined business role
  • 🔁 Input/Output Contracts: REST/gRPC APIs, event subscriptions, published messages
  • 🧱 Used Aggregates & Entities: semantic domain references
  • ⚙️ Technology & Runtime: .NET, messaging bus, DB, libraries
  • 📡 Observability & Resilience: telemetry, retries, health, security
  • 🚀 DevOps Integration: pipelines, containerization, IaC
  • 🧠 Trace-Ready Metadata: all sections mapped to memory graph for search, reuse, validation

🧠 Generated by Agent

This blueprint is created by the 🧠 Microservice Generator Agent, using:

  • System context from Architecture Blueprint
  • Feature signals from Product Blueprint
  • Constraints from Vision Blueprint
  • Template catalog registry and CLI invocation parameters

It is deterministically created from upstream agent outputs — but remains editable, diffable, and version-controlled like any core software asset.

🧪 Why It's Critical

  • 📐 Drives microservice CLI template generation
  • 🧠 Enables downstream QA/Test, Observability, Infra, and CI agents
  • 🔄 Provides a canonical source of truth for a single autonomous module
  • 🧬 Encodes Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven principles
  • 🧠 Persists in long-term memory graph with full trace lineage

🧩 Blueprint Shape

Each blueprint exists as:

Format Use
.md Studio + human-readable rendering
.json Machine-parsed agent input/output
embedding Vectorized semantic memory and search indexing

Example filenames:

blueprints/microservices/{service-name}/microservice-blueprint.md
blueprints/microservices/{service-name}/microservice-blueprint.json

📦 One Per Service

Each microservice in the Factory has one blueprint. They are used to:

  • 🧬 Derive Git repo structure
  • ⚙️ Scaffold .NET codebase with the correct CLI template
  • 📦 Link observability and deployment to service ID
  • 🧠 Track cross-microservice events, APIs, and dependencies

🧭 When and Why It's Generated

The Microservice Standard Blueprint is generated when the Factory determines that a new deployable backend service is needed — typically as part of the downstream orchestration flow from architecture modeling or feature decomposition.

It is created after the Vision, Product, and Architecture Blueprints, and serves as the execution-ready artifact for the actual microservice generation.

The blueprint marks the moment where a conceptual system becomes a concrete, autonomous, production-bound service.

⚙️ Generation Trigger Points

The blueprint is automatically initiated by the 🧠 Microservice Generator Agent when any of the following occur:

  • 🧠 Architecture Blueprint defines a new bounded context to be implemented as a service
  • 🧱 Feature Block requires infrastructure separation, isolation, or independent scalability
  • 📦 A template reference (from template catalog) resolves to microservice-cli
  • 🔁 Regeneration is triggered due to version update, memory correction, or event change

🕘 Blueprint generation is not first — it follows strategic design decisions and domain modeling.

🧠 Agent Context

At generation time, the agent combines:

  • 📐 Context from system architecture (boundedContext, domainLayer, etc.)
  • 🧬 Feature signals relevant to the service responsibility
  • 🔐 Constraints and compliance needs (e.g., multi-tenancy, auth)
  • 📄 Template resolution from the microservice CLI registry
  • 🧠 Memory links to related services, aggregates, and modules

🚀 Outcomes of Generation

Once created, the blueprint:

  • 🎯 Triggers actual service skeleton generation via CLI template
  • 🧠 Registers all interface contracts in memory graph
  • 📢 Emits microservice-blueprint.created to downstream agents
  • 📁 Initializes repository, folder structure, and source code pipeline
  • 🧪 Enables test and observability setup to begin

🧩 Summary Table

Trigger Source Description
Architecture Blueprint Defines the service boundary
Product/Feature Blocks Indicate need for isolated responsibility
CLI Template Registry Match Resolves to microservice base template
Memory Graph Inference Suggests new autonomous scope from context

✅ Guarantees

The Factory ensures:

  • 🧠 No microservice is generated without a formal blueprint
  • 🪄 Blueprint is idempotent: rerun yields same spec unless upstream changes
  • 📈 Traceability and regeneration are fully versioned and observable

🏭 Blueprint’s Role in the Software Factory

The Microservice Standard Blueprint serves as the operational contract between domain-driven design, system architecture, and executable automation in the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory. It acts as the central planning artifact that connects vision with infrastructure, and intent with runtime reality.

It is both a design output and a generation input — a blueprint and a build manifest in one.

🧠 Where It Sits in the Factory

The blueprint is generated as part of the Engineering Cluster, immediately after Architecture decisions are finalized.

It feeds into:

  • 🏗️ CLI Template Engine for source code bootstrapping
  • 🧪 QA and Test Agents for contract validation
  • 📦 Deployment and CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure alignment
  • 📡 Observability graph for signal setup
  • 🤖 AI feedback loop via event mesh and memory updates

embedding Semantic vector form for long-term memory indexing and cross-agent search

📂 Folder Structure

All service blueprints are stored under the following canonical path:

blueprints/
└── microservices/
    └── {service-name}/
        ├── microservice-blueprint.md
        ├── microservice-blueprint.json
        ├── trace-metadata.json
        └── signals/
            ├── api-signals.json
            ├── event-contracts.json
            ├── observability-anchors.json

🧠 Traceability and Indexing

Each blueprint is tagged with:

  • traceId – globally unique ID across factory agents
  • projectId – scope of solution/project this service belongs to
  • agentId – which generator created it
  • version – incremented per update or regeneration
  • originPrompt – original intent prompt or upstream reference

These tags are stored in both the .json file and embedded in memory metadata.

🧩 Memory Graph Integration

Upon generation, blueprint content is indexed to:

Memory Layer Description
semantic memory Embeds sections for vector search and reuse
trace graph Links blueprint to upstream features, downstream pipelines
contract index Maps APIs, events, schemas to service traceId
agent registry Registers blueprint version under owning agent

🪄 Sample Output Manifest

{

📜 JSON File microservice-blueprint.json
🧠 Memory Integration semantic, trace graph, agent registry, observability
🪪 Tags Included traceId, agentId, projectId, version, originPrompt

📛 Microservice Identity & Metadata

Every microservice in the Factory is uniquely defined by a rich identity block that anchors it within the broader system topology, domain map, and agent memory graph. This metadata is foundational — enabling everything from template resolution to pipeline targeting, observability tagging, and service discovery.

🆔 Identity Fields

Field Description
serviceName Canonical name of the service (used in code, routing, folders)
traceId Globally unique blueprint ID across the Factory
projectId Higher-level solution/project this microservice belongs to
namespace Full C#-style namespace derived from project and service name
context Domain or bounded context this service belongs to
templateId ID of the CLI template used for generation
tags Key-value labels for routing, monitoring, and agent interaction

🧠 Sample Identity Block

{
  "serviceName": "referral-notifier",
  "traceId": "ms-20250608-referral-notifier-v1",
  "projectId": "vetspire-referrals",
  "namespace": "ConnectSoft.Services.ReferralNotifier",
  "context": "ReferralManagement",
  "templateId": "dotnet-microservice-v1",
  "tags": ["event-consumer", "notification", "bounded-context:referral"]
}

🧩 Naming Conventions

Element Convention Example
Service Name lower-kebab-case (e.g. referral-notifier)
Namespace Company.Domain.Services.ServiceName
Trace ID ms-{date}-{serviceName}-v{version}
Folder Path blueprints/microservices/{service-name}/

🧠 Memory Anchoring

Upon creation, the identity block is:

  • Indexed into the memory graph as the root node for the service
  • Used for resolving cross-blueprint links (e.g., metrics, APIs, consumers)
  • Propagated to CLI generation, agent pipelines, and UI display tools
  • Automatically emits a microservice-identity-created event for orchestration

📛 Example Identity Markdown Block

## 📛 Identity

- **Service Name**: `referral-notifier`  
- **Trace ID**: `ms-20250608-referral-notifier-v1`  
- **Project**: `vetspire-referrals`  
- **Context**: `ReferralManagement`  
- **Namespace**: `ConnectSoft.Services.ReferralNotifier`  
- **Template**: `dotnet-microservice-v1`  
- **Tags**: `event-consumer`, `notification`, `bounded-context:referral`

✅ Guarantees

  • Every blueprint has exactly one identity block
  • All file paths, repos, telemetry keys, and contracts are derived from it
  • It is immutable after generation (versioned if changed)

🧱 Domain Context & Bounded Context Info

Each microservice is rooted in a specific domain and bounded context — derived from strategic modeling and domain-driven design. This section encodes the semantic purpose and ownership boundary of the service, ensuring it aligns with the overall architecture and functional modularity of the system.

This isn’t just categorization — it defines the microservice’s language, autonomy, and authority.

🗺️ Core Domain Metadata

Field Description
domain The broader business area this service belongs to
boundedContext The specific DDD context the service owns
aggregateRoots Primary aggregates/entities managed within this service
contextOwner Agent/system responsible for defining/modifying the context
businessCapability Describes what this context is responsible for in the business

🧠 Example Block

{
  "domain": "Veterinary Operations",
  "boundedContext": "ReferralManagement",
  "aggregateRoots": ["Referral", "ReferralStatus"],
  "contextOwner": "enterprise-architect-agent",
  "businessCapability": "Manage lifecycle of external referrals"
}

📘 In Markdown Form

## 🧱 Domain Context

- **Domain**: Veterinary Operations  
- **Bounded Context**: ReferralManagement

Bounded Context ReferralManagement
Aggregates Owned Referral, ReferralStatus
Semantic Scope Ownership of referral lifecycle
Memory Traceability ✓ memory/index/context/{traceId}

📦 Responsibility & Business Capability

This section defines the core functional role of the microservice — what it does, what problems it solves, and which business capabilities it encapsulates. It is used by agents across the Factory to align features, observability, metrics, and tests to the service's declared mission.

In DDD terms, this is the service’s reason for existence — its authoritative boundary and value delivery scope.

🎯 Functional Responsibility

Attribute Description
primaryFunction One-line summary of the service’s key behavior
capabilities Specific business actions or workflows owned by this service
notResponsibleFor Explicit exclusions to prevent scope creep
inputSignals Feature blocks or epics that triggered this service
ownerPersona Stakeholder or product persona most aligned with the service

🧠 Example JSON Block

{
  "primaryFunction": "Handle referral acceptance and status updates",
  "capabilities": [
    "Receive and process referral events",
    "Allow veterinary staff to accept or reject referrals",
    "Update referral status and notify clinics"
  ],
  "notResponsibleFor": [
    "Referral analytics",
    "User access control"
  ],
  "inputSignals": ["feature:accept-referral", "feature:notify-client"],

- **Persona Owner**: Product Manager – Referral Operations

📊 How It's Used in the Factory

Consumer Agent Usage
🧪 QA Agent Aligns test scenarios to declared capabilities
📡 Observability Agent Builds health and KPI anchors around capability boundaries
📘 Docs/Studio UI Uses this block in documentation and overview views
🧠 Replanning Agent Verifies capability drift or misalignment with original goals
🧬 Generator Agent Chooses templates and patterns based on declared role

✅ Guarantees

  • Capabilities are mapped to features, not arbitrarily listed
  • Responsibility is exclusive — enforced by agent scope validation
  • Must include at least one exclusion (notResponsibleFor) to force clarity

👤 Ownership & Lifecycle Agents

Ownership in the AI Software Factory is explicit, traceable, and agent-aware. Every microservice blueprint encodes not only its business and domain role, but also who owns it, who maintains it, and which agents are responsible for its lifecycle from creation to deprecation.

Ownership is not just about Git — it is about sustained accountability across generations of agents and orchestrated flows.

👤 Ownership Metadata

Field Description
creatorAgent Agent responsible for original generation (usually microservice-generator)
maintainerAgent Agent or cluster responsible for long-term evolution and health
humanOwner Real-world product or engineering persona who is accountable
lifecycleStage Current phase in the Factory lifecycle (e.g., draft, active, retired)
version Current blueprint version for this service

🧠 Example Block

{
  "creatorAgent": "microservice-generator-agent",
  "maintainerAgent": "engineering-orchestration-cluster",
  "humanOwner": "CTO - Veterinary Systems",
  "lifecycleStage": "active",
  "version": 1
}

📘 Markdown Example

## 👤 Ownership & Lifecycle

- **Created By**: Microservice Generator Agent  
- **Maintained By**: Engineering Orchestration Cluster  
- **Human Owner**: CTO – Veterinary Systems  
- **Lifecycle Stage**: Active  
- **Blueprint Version**: 1

🔁 Lifecycle Stage States

Stage Meaning
draft Created but not yet executed
active Deployed, live, and owned
paused Temporarily excluded from releases or updates
retired Deprecated service; blueprint frozen but archived
invalid Failed validation or conflicted with architecture blueprint

🧬 Agent Uses

Agent/System Purpose
🧠 Orchestrator Agent Determines if a blueprint is eligible for planning/deploy
☁️ DevOps Agent Manages CI/CD and IaC only for active blueprints
🧪 QA Agent Runs test plans tied to lifecycle transitions
📘 Blueprint Linter Validates completeness and ownership consistency

✅ Best Practices

  • Ownership fields must be explicitly defined by Generator Agent
  • Lifecycle changes are event-driven, traceable, and persisted
  • Versioning is semantic — each change emits a blueprint.version.updated event

🔁 Input/Output Contracts (API, Event, gRPC)

A Microservice Standard Blueprint defines all interfaces exposed or consumed by the service — including REST APIs, gRPC services, and event-driven messaging. These contracts serve as the boundary of interaction, enabling agents to generate test cases, documentation, observability hooks, and downstream service integrations.

In the Factory, all I/O contracts are declared first, generated next, and tested automatically — no more hidden endpoints or undocumented events.

📤 Output Contracts (Exposed)

Type Description
REST API Public HTTP endpoints with route, method, schema
gRPC Service and method declarations in .proto form
Events Domain events published to the bus (with payload schema)

📥 Input Contracts (Consumed)

Type Description
REST External HTTP APIs invoked by this service
gRPC External services it connects to via protobuf
Events Subscribed topics, domains, or service-originated events

🧠 Example Contracts Block (JSON)

{
  "restApi": {
    "exposes": ["/referrals/accept", "/referrals/reject"],
    "consumes": ["GET /clinics/info"]
  },
  "events": {
    "publishes": ["ReferralAccepted", "ReferralRejected"],
    "subscribes": ["ReferralCreated"]
  },
  "grpc": {
    "exposes": ["ReferralService.AcceptReferral"],
    "consumes": []
  }
}

✅ Guarantees

  • All exposed and consumed contracts are versioned and diffable
  • Each contract is linked to the semantic memory graph
  • Changes automatically trigger validations and alerts to agents

📡 Event-Driven Interfaces

Event-driven contracts in the Microservice Standard Blueprint describe the asynchronous communication model of the service — what domain events it publishes, what signals it subscribes to, and how it interacts with the event mesh of the system.

This section is essential for enabling decoupled, reactive, and observable systems, following ConnectSoft’s Event-Driven Architecture principles.

Event contracts are first-class citizens in the Factory — modeled, tested, monitored, and trace-linked like APIs.

📤 Published Events

These are domain events emitted by the service and consumed by others.

Field Description
eventName Canonical name of the domain event
payloadSchema JSON schema or .avsc file describing structure
channel Topic or bus used for publishing
semanticType Type of event (e.g., created, updated, failed)
version Versioned contract for downstream validation

📥 Subscribed Events

These are external events the service listens to.

Field Description
sourceService Origin of the event
eventName Subscribed event name
payloadContract Validated schema definition
handlingPolicy At-least-once, idempotent, dead-letter, etc.

🧠 Example JSON Block

{
  "publishes": [
    {
      "eventName": "ReferralAccepted",
      "channel": "vet.referral.outbound",
      "semanticType": "status.updated",
      "version": "v1"
    }
  ],
  "subscribes": [
    {
      "eventName": "ReferralCreated",
      "sourceService": "referral-intake",
      "channel": "vet.referral.inbound",
      "handlingPolicy": "idempotent"
    }
  ]
}

📘 Markdown Format

## 📡 Event-Driven Interfaces

### Publishes
- `ReferralAccepted` → Channel: `vet.referral.outbound` (v1)
- Type: `status.updated`

### Subscribes
- `ReferralCreated` ← From: `referral-intake` on `vet.referral.inbound`
- Policy: Idempotent

📂 Storage Convention

blueprints/microservices/{service-name}/contracts/events/
├── published/
│   └── ReferralAccepted.json
├── subscribed/
│   └── ReferralCreated.json
└── index.json

Each .json file contains schema, version, channel, and source trace metadata.

🧠 Factory Use Cases

Agent Purpose
🧪 QA Agent Runs contract conformance and event replay tests
📡 Observability Agent Auto-generates spans, metrics, and dead-letter alerts
📘 Docs Agent Visualizes producer/consumer graphs and schemas
🧠 Replanning Agent Detects event drift or unmet contracts over time

✅ Guarantees

  • Every event is versioned, diffable, and semantically classified
  • Subscriptions include policy hints (e.g., idempotency, retries)
  • Contract validation is automated in the CI/CD pipeline

🧱 Domain Entities & Aggregates Used

Every microservice in the Factory explicitly declares the domain entities and aggregate roots it owns or operates on. This section encodes the semantic structure of the service — ensuring that it aligns with Clean Architecture, DDD principles, and traceable domain modeling.

Aggregates are the backbone of business logic. Declaring them upfront lets the Factory build storage, tests, APIs, and events around a shared understanding.

Field Description
aggregateRoots Main domain objects the service owns/manages
entities Supporting entities used within aggregates
valueObjects Immutable types used in business logic
externalReferences Domain objects this service reads but doesn’t own
persistenceHints Storage preferences (e.g., relational, document, event-sourced)

🧠 Example JSON Block

{
  "aggregateRoots": ["Referral"],
  "entities": ["ReferralStatus", "ClinicMetadata"],
  "valueObjects": ["ReferralDecision", "NotificationTarget"],
  "externalReferences": ["VetProfile", "Appointment"],
  "persistenceHints": {
    "type": "relational",
    "orm": "NHibernate",
    "projectionModels": ["ReferralReadModel"]
  }
}

✅ Guarantees

  • Aggregates and value objects are semantically defined and versioned
  • External references are read-only by design and must be declared
  • ORM strategies are inferred from template metadata or declared explicitly

⚙️ Technology Stack & Runtime Profile

Each microservice blueprint includes a declared technology stack and runtime configuration — ensuring that the service is generated consistently, deployed correctly, and monitored reliably across environments. These declarations align the blueprint with available CLI templates, DevOps tooling, and observability instrumentation.

In the AI Software Factory, a service is not just what it does, but how it runs — this block makes it explicit.

🖥️ Technology Fields

Field Description

  • Library references are used to inject preconfigured behaviors and traits

📈 Observability, Health & Metrics

This section defines the runtime introspection characteristics of the microservice — how it exposes health, emits telemetry, and participates in monitoring dashboards. It encodes observable contracts, enabling automatic wiring of logs, metrics, traces, alerts, and health checks into the platform-wide observability mesh.

Observability is declarative and traceable — built into the blueprint, not bolted on later.

📊 Observability Metadata

Field Description
healthChecks Declared endpoints for liveness/readiness
metrics Business or system metrics emitted
traces Span categories or operations this service generates
loggingScopes Logical areas of structured logging
dashboardProfiles Predefined Grafana or Azure Monitor dashboard fragments linked
alertAnchors Conditions or rules for alert policies

🧠 Example JSON Block

{
  "healthChecks": ["/healthz", "/readyz"],
  "metrics": ["referral.accepted.count", "referral.processing.time"],
  "traces": ["ReferralAcceptedHandler", "NotificationPublisher"],
  "loggingScopes": ["Application", "Infrastructure", "Domain"],
  "dashboardProfiles": ["standard-service-overview", "referral-events"],
  "alertAnchors": ["referral.failed.count > 5 in 10m", "no-accepted-events-in-1h"]
}

📘 Markdown Format

🔐 Security & Authentication Interfaces

This section defines how the microservice participates in the platform’s security model, including authentication, authorization, data protection, and access control. Security is not optional — it is declared, validated, and injected at generation time to enforce platform-wide protection standards.

Security boundaries must be known before any endpoint or contract is exposed — this ensures Factory-wide compliance and zero-trust readiness.

🔐 Security Metadata

Field Description
authMode Type of authentication required (OAuth2, API Key, None, etc.)
authorizationScopes Required claims/roles for each capability or endpoint
encryptionZones Declared zones where data-at-rest or in-transit is encrypted
sensitiveFields Fields that must be masked, encrypted, or excluded from logs
tokenValidation Configuration for token issuer, audience, and metadata resolution
securityAnnotations Hints used by agents for scanning, threat modeling, and hardening

🧠 Example JSON Block

{
  "authMode": "OAuth2",
  "authorizationScopes": {
    "/referrals/accept": ["referral:write"],
    "/referrals/reject": ["referral:write"]
  },

🧠 Agent Impact

Agent Responsibility
🧠 Generator Agent Injects aggregates and events into the domain layer
📘 Docs Agent Renders bounded context maps and domain object graphs
🧪 QA Agent Validates transitions and emits tests for domain events
Knowledge Graph Builder Embeds relationships between contexts, events, and aggregates

✅ Guarantees

  • Domain objects are generated in their correct layer (Domain, not Infrastructure)
  • Domain events are observable, semantically tagged, and stored in memory graph
  • Aggregate ownership ensures no ambiguity in state transitions or business rules

✅ Final Summary & Blueprint Guarantees

This final section synthesizes all blueprint dimensions into a concise summary table and enumerates the platform-wide guarantees that stem from having a complete Agent Microservice Standard Blueprint. It ensures that each microservice is traceable, testable, observable, deployable, and regenerable — aligned with ConnectSoft’s clean, event-driven, and modular standards.

🧾 Blueprint Summary Table

Aspect Included
📛 Identity & Naming ✅
🧩 Responsibilities ✅ Domain-specific business capability defined
🔁 Contracts (API + Events) ✅ REST, gRPC, and pub/sub messages declared
🧱 Domain Participation ✅ Aggregates, Entities, Events defined
🔄 Resilience ✅ Retry, timeout, fallback policies
🧪 Testability ✅ Strategy, CI stages, resilience tests
⚙️ DevOps & Infra ✅ Pipelines, containers, Helm, IaC
🌐 API Gateway ✅ Exposure, routing, rate limit, CORS
🔁 Inter-Service Links ✅ Versioned, traceable service dependencies
🧩 Reuse & Templates ✅ CLI templates, shared libs, generators
🪪 Governance & Access ✅ Owners, roles, change log
🧭 Versioning & Diffs ✅ Immutable zones, semantic diffing
🧠 Memory & Traceability ✅ Vector embeddings, trace ID, lineage

🛡️ Blueprint Guarantees (Platform-Level)

✅ Regenerable: Any service can be regenerated with full trace, constraints, and override preservation ✅ Diffable: Every version is diffable by semantic anchors and agent-aided visualization ✅ Observable: Every span, event, API call is anchored to blueprint-defined metadata ✅ Composable: All services can be composed into flows, clusters, and systems based on domain & comms ✅ Auditable: Agents, humans, prompts, and artifacts are traceable to a single blueprint lineage ✅ Portable: Blueprint defines Helm/IaC/container structure for runtime movement across environments ✅ Memory-Synced: Full blueprint available in vector DB, memory graph, and observability backend
