Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the challenges that you may face when working with distributed systems and dealing with work or operations that cannot be accomplished by a single component and must also be distributed. We looked at three methods and how their distributed workflows can be implemented – 2PCs, choreographed sagas, and orchestrated sagas. Finally, we implemented the existing create order operation using an orchestrated saga, which resulted in a more resilient process.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to improve resiliency for the entire system. To do so, we will learn about the different transactional boundaries that exist in distributed systems and more.
