Building Event-Driven Microservices - Chapter 8 - Building Workflows with Microservices

• Orchestration (with centralized coordination)

How to implement Distributed Transactions with Choreography and with Orchestration.

How to AVOID implementing Distributed Transactions - a Compensation Workflows approach.

All of these is disclosed in the Chapter 8 of the book we are currently studying:

“Building Event-Driven Microservices: Leveraging Organizational Data at Scale” by Adam Bellemare
