# Service Boundaries

Each microservice should own a specific business capability end-to-end (including its data). Services should be independently deployable and loosely coupled. Avoid distributed monoliths where services are tightly dependent. Services communicate via well-defined APIs. Consider bounded contexts from Domain-Driven Design to identify boundaries. Start with a modular monolith; extract services when needed.
