What this skill does
Saga Orchestration Patterns for managing distributed transactions and long-running business processes. When to Use This Skill Coordinating multi-service transactions Implementing compensating transactions Managing long-running business workflows Handling failures in distributed systems Building order fulfillment processes Implementing approval workflows Core Concepts 1. Saga Types 2. Saga Execution States State Description ------- ------------- Started Saga initiated Pending Waiting for step completion Compensating Rolling back due to failure Completed All steps succeeded Failed Saga failed after compensation Templates Template 1: Saga Orchestrator Base Template 2: Order Fulfillment Saga Template 3: Choreography-Based Saga Template 4: Saga with Timeouts Best Practices Do's Make steps idempotent - Safe to retry Design compensations carefully - They must work Use correlation IDs - For tracing across services Implement timeouts - Don't wait forever Log everything - For debugging failures Don'ts Don't assume instant completion - Sagas take time Don't skip compensation testing - Most critical part Don't couple services - Use async messaging Don't ignore partial failures - Handle gracefully Resources Saga Pattern Designing Data-Intensive Applications
