AI in Development: How an LLM Spots Microservice Conflicts
Claude Sonnet 4.6 is being tested as a microservices architect: the model receives machine-readable SERVICE_MAP.yaml contracts and is asked to find conflicts before any code is written. The experiment used the same feature that failed without contracts. With explicit service boundaries, the LLM did catch cross-service errors at the planning stage. Keeping the contracts up to date, however, is a separate problem.

A developer tested whether an LLM (large language model, a form of artificial intelligence) can detect cross-service conflicts at the planning stage, before the first line of code is written.
Which tool was used to check for microservice conflicts?
Archspec with machine-readable SERVICE_MAP.yaml contracts
Why does an LLM lose context in a microservice architecture?
An LLM describes each service neatly in isolation but loses the rules at the boundaries between services, so the plan falls apart when a feature passes through several services
