Microservices Transactions

Microservices transactions refer to the management of data and operations in a system designed with many independent services. Unlike traditional systems where a single database handles all transactions, microservices often have their own databases. This creates challenges for ensuring that transactions—groups of changes that must succeed or fail together—are completed reliably. Techniques like eventual consistency and the Saga pattern help coordinate these transactions across services, ensuring that the overall system remains correct and reliable even when individual services operate independently. This approach enhances flexibility and scalability but requires careful design to maintain data integrity.
