IT & Software → Microservices → Saga Patterns → Introduction to Saga Patterns

Overview

Saga Patterns are a way to manage long-running transactions in microservices. Instead of a single transaction, a saga breaks the process into smaller steps, each handled by different services. If something goes wrong, the saga can roll back previous steps to maintain data consistency. This approach helps build reliable and scalable applications that can handle failures gracefully.
