Why Traditional Transactions
Don’t Work in Microservices?
In microservices, a business operation often
involves multiple services.
But what if one of them fails in the middle?
We can’t use a regular database transaction
across services.
So... how do we keep everything consistent?

The Solution: Saga Pattern
Saga is a sequence of small, distributed
transactions.
Each service does its part, and if it succeeds,
the next service takes over.
But if something fails, we run compensating
actions to undo the previous steps.

Two Main Types of Saga:
Choreography
Each service publishes an event when it finishes
its task.Other services listen and react.No central
controller. Simple and loosely coupled.
Orchestration
A central Orchestrator tells each service what to
do and when.More control, better visibility.

Implementing Saga in .NET
Use MassTransit (an open-source service
bus for .NET
Use a message broker like RabbitM
MassTransit provides Saga state
management and orchestration out of the
box
You define a state machine to manage
steps and transitions.
