advancedThe Saga Pattern
What's the key difference between choreography-based and orchestration-based Sagas?
In choreography, each service reacts to events and decides its own next action with no central coordinator — loosely coupled but harder to trace as steps grow. In orchestration, one central orchestrator explicitly tells each service what to do — centrally visible, but the orchestrator itself becomes a critical, more tightly-coupled component.
