Summary

The saga pattern is a distributed systems design pattern for tasks spanning machine or microservice boundaries where full execution of all steps is necessary. Two main ways microservices can communicate are choreography and orchestration. Choreography is decentralized, decoupled, and good for highly independent microservices but can make control flow unclear and challenging to debug. Orchestration centralizes control flow, making it easier to understand and debug, but has a single point of failure. Temporal automates the orchestration process while avoiding the single point of failure issue by recording program progress in a log, allowing for horizontal scalability and resilience against failures.
