Spring Boot Saga Pattern
This handles distributed transactions across microservices without the coordination overhead of two-phase commit. You get implementations for both choreography (event-driven with Kafka or RabbitMQ) and orchestration (centralized coordinator), with the key insight that every forward transaction needs an idempotent compensating action. The approach maps out transaction flows like Order → Payment → Inventory with corresponding Cancel → Refund → Release paths. Best suited when you're past the monolith stage and need eventual consistency across services that can't share a database. The emphasis on idempotency and persistent saga state is right, because in distributed systems things will fail and retry constantly.

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
Instructions
1. Design Transaction Flow
Map the sequence of operations and their compensating transactions:
Order → Payment → Inventory → Shipment
