Saga Orchestration vs Choreography
Jul 13, 2023

Summary
This post introduces the Saga pattern and contrasts choreography with orchestration. It explains how Temporal's durable execution inherently provides orchestration capabilities, avoiding the single point of failure common in traditional orchestration engines. The core contribution is demonstrating how Temporal's code-based workflow logic and state persistence enable reliable and failure-resilient implementation of the Saga pattern, driving towards completion of all steps without manual intervention.
