Capability Mapping
summary
Argues that real microservice boundaries come from automating stable business processes so teams can independently deploy and release many times per day instead of every two weeks or month. Recommends concrete techniques: value stream mapping to find customer-facing processes, event storming to find aggregates and shared events, and APQC process models for scale. Warns against CRUD “entity” services and central orchestration. Mentions using messaging platforms (Brighter / brightside) for inter-service integration.
