Orchestration

In today’s world, scalability is a common challenge that most of us face when developing applications. To scale out and build easily manageable services, we often break down a system’s responsibilities into multiple microservices. In a microservices architecture, each service manages its own database, and the type of database can differ between services. This diversity complicates implementing a two-phase commit, and in many cases, services don’t always require strong consistency. ...
