A practitioner’s guide to building sagas for distributed commerce transactions, comparing orchestration and choreography, and showing how compensation, idempotency, and observability keep orders resilient when individual services fail.
Distributed transactions in commerce platforms can’t rely on two-phase commit. This post walks through the Saga pattern, compares choreography and orchestration, and shows how to handle compensation, idempotency, and observability in production.
