Spring Boot Saga Pattern
Overview
Implements distributed transactions across microservices using the Saga Pattern. Replaces two-phase commit with a sequence of local transactions and compensating actions. Supports choreography (event-driven) and orchestration (centralized coordinator) approaches with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Axon Framework.
When to Use
- Building distributed transactions across multiple microservices
- Replacing two-phase commit (2PC) with a more scalable solution
- Handling transaction rollback when a service fails
- Ensuring eventual consistency in microservices architecture
- Implementing compensating transactions for failed operations
- Coordinating complex business processes spanning multiple services
Trigger phrases: distributed transactions, saga pattern, compensating transactions, microservices transaction, eventual consistency, rollback across services, orchestration pattern, choreography pattern
