Managing distributed transactions across microservices with the Saga pattern

In microservices architecture, a database-per-microservice approach enhances flexibility and independence but complicates transactional operations across multiple services, challenging the maintenance of ACID properties. The Saga pattern addresses this by managing distributed transactions through a sequence of local transactions with compensating transactions for failure recovery. AWS Step Functions offer a robust solution for orchestrating these transactions, providing coordination, visual workflow design, and effective state management with built-in error
