Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - SAGA Pattern for Distributed Transactions

The video tutorial explains the concept of distributed transactions and how the Sagapatan framework manages data consistency across microservices. It introduces the Saga pattern, which coordinates long-running transactions involving multiple microservices, ensuring either successful completion or rollback in case of errors. The tutorial provides an example of using the Saga pattern in an e-commerce order fulfillment process, highlighting the rollback mechanism. It concludes with a brief overview of two types of Saga implementations: choreography and orchestration.
