What this post added

This post contrasts the choreography and orchestration patterns for microservice communication within the context of the saga pattern. It explains the trade-offs of each, highlighting choreography's decoupling and potential for unclear control flow, and orchestration's centralized control and debugging benefits but also its single point of failure. The post then positions Temporal's durable execution as an orchestration solution that avoids the single point of failure by logging program progress, allowing for seamless continuation on other machines. It emphasizes that Temporal's workflow logic is expressed in code, simplifying development and ensuring failure resilience.
