State Machines for Orchestration
Apply state machine concepts to build robust and predictable saga orchestrators that track transaction progress.
State Machines for Sagas
Welcome to this lesson on using state machines to build robust saga orchestrators!
Orchestration sagas manage complex distributed transactions by keeping track of the overall process. State machines are a powerful tool for this.
Why State Machines?
A saga orchestrator needs to know the exact status of a business process at any given moment. This allows it to:
- Decide the next action to take.
- Handle failures and trigger compensation.
- Ensure consistency across multiple services.
State machines provide a clear, structured way to model this complex logic.
