## Summary

Ship FastAPI services that survive production: settings, security, health, deploy, background workers, event catalogs, and bounded contexts. Durable async work uses RabbitMQ (commands/jobs) and/or Kafka (domain events). Redis is for cache and rate limits, not the primary job broker.

## Key policy

- RabbitMQ for commands/jobs; Kafka for multi-consumer events
- Separate API and workers; job status in DB; 202 + job_id
- Outbox for critical publishes; inbox for consumers
- DDD: bounded contexts, aggregates for invariants, thin adapters
