The Saga Pattern

If 2PC doesn't survive real production microservices, what actually does? This module is the pattern nearly every real distributed system uses instead.

Learning objectives

  • Beginner: Explain what a compensating transaction is and why Sagas need them.
  • Intermediate: Trace through a multi-step Saga's happy path and its failure/rollback path.
  • Advanced: Choose between choreography-based and orchestration-based Saga implementation for a given system's complexity.
