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 it into smaller steps, each with its own transaction. If something goes wrong, the saga can undo previous steps to maintain data consistency. This approach helps in building reliable and scalable applications by ensuring that all parts of a process are completed successfully or rolled back if needed.
