This article shares practical experiences and detailed technical solutions for applying Domain‑Driven Design, Clean (Onion) Architecture, CQRS, and Saga patterns in backend systems, covering theory recap, modeling methods, module separation, code examples, and distributed transaction strategies.
The article details Shopee’s seadt‑SAGA framework—a Go‑based distributed transaction solution that implements the SAGA pattern via two modes, orchestration with a central coordinator and collaboration with embedded logic, explains their state‑machine designs, compares rollback ordering using vector clocks versus sequence numbers, and discusses each mode’s trade‑offs.
This article analyzes the challenges of distributed transactions in a micro‑service order system, compares XA, TCC, and SAGA patterns, and details how the open‑source DTM framework is applied to achieve reliable order creation while handling crashes, rollbacks, idempotency, and network anomalies.
This article explains the challenges of distributed transactions in micro‑service architectures and presents Seata's various solutions—including two‑phase commit, XA, AT, TCC, Saga and message‑based approaches—while covering fundamental concepts such as ACID, CAP and BASE.
The article explains how the Saga pattern—using either choreography or orchestration—enables reliable distributed transactions across microservices by coordinating local ACID operations, handling compensating actions, and addressing the challenges of consistency, rollback, and scalability.
The article examines three common microservice integration pitfalls—complex communication, asynchronous challenges, and distributed transaction difficulties—and proposes resilient solutions using fast‑fail patterns, timeout handling, and stateful compensation via lightweight workflow engines to simplify architecture and improve reliability.
This article introduces Seata's approach to distributed transactions, covering the concept of reverse compensation, core components (TC, TM, RM), the two‑phase commit protocol, and detailed walkthroughs of Seata's AT, TCC, XA, and Saga modes with practical examples and diagrams.
The article explains how micro‑service architectures create data‑consistency challenges that require distributed transaction strategies, compares strong‑consistency protocols like 2PC/3PC with eventual‑consistency approaches such as TCC and Saga patterns, and discusses their trade‑offs, implementation complexity, and suitability for real‑world scenarios like a points‑based sign‑in system.
This article explains how data consistency is achieved through local ACID transactions, global XA/2PC mechanisms, CAP and BASE theories, and practical patterns such as reliable events, TCC, and SAGA, providing a comprehensive overview for architects designing distributed systems.
The article reviews the most frequent errors encountered while adopting microservice architecture—excessive customization, uncontrolled complexity, and vague definitions—illustrating each with real‑world experiences, a saga implementation using Redis streams and Go, and practical advice to avoid similar pitfalls.
This article explains the fundamentals of distributed transactions, compares classic solutions such as two‑phase commit (XA), SAGA, TCC, local message tables, transaction messages, and maximum‑effort notifications, and presents a sub‑transaction barrier technique to handle network anomalies and ensure idempotency, isolation, and rollback safety.
