Saga Orchestration
Handles distributed transaction patterns when you can't use two-phase commit across microservices. Generates orchestrator implementations that coordinate multiple services with proper compensation logic, timeout handling, and failure recovery. Also covers choreography patterns where services react to each other's events without a central coordinator. The templates include concrete order fulfillment workflows spanning inventory, payment, and shipping services. Good for complex business processes that need to roll back partially completed work when something fails downstream. The compensation logic is built to be idempotent and includes monitoring for stuck saga states.

Saga Orchestration
Patterns for managing distributed transactions and long-running business processes without two-phase commit.
Inputs and Outputs
What you provide:
- Service boundaries and ownership (which service owns which step)
- Transaction requirements (which steps must be atomic, which can be eventual)
- Failure modes for each step (transient vs. permanent, retry policy)
- SLA requirements per step (informs timeout configuration)
- Existing event/messaging infrastructure (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, etc.)
What this skill produces:
- Saga definition with ordered steps, action commands, and compensation commands
- Orchestrator or choreography implementation for your chosen pattern
- Compensation logic for each participant service (idempotent, always-succeeds)
- Step timeout configuration with per-step deadlines
- Monitoring setup: state machine metrics, stuck saga detection, DLQ recovery
