Saga Orchestration
Implement saga patterns for distributed transactions and cross-aggregate workflows.
Saga Orchestration gives you battle-tested patterns for managing distributed transactions and long-running business workflows across multiple services, where traditional ACID rollback is impossible. It covers both choreography and orchestration styles, with compensating transactions, idempotent steps, timeouts, and the outbox pattern so partial failures roll back cleanly instead of leaving your system in a corrupt half-state. Ready-to-adapt Python templates take you from a base orchestrator to a full order-fulfillment saga with compensation.

See the actual work before you buy it.
A distributed transaction has no rollback button, only the compensations you planned in advance. Every step ships with its undo, idempotency keys, timeouts, and a reverse chain for failure.
- Picks the saga style first: choreography (services react to each other via events) for simple 3-4 step flows, or a central orchestrator for 5+ steps and complex compensation, where saga state lives in one place for debugging and monitoring.
- Defines every step as an action plus a mandatory compensation pair (ProcessPayment paired with RefundPayment, ReserveItems paired with ReleaseReservation). A step without an undo handler does not enter the plan.
- Starts the saga in a STARTED state, persists it to the saga store, then publishes the first step command. Each completed step advances current_step and publishes the next command; state changes and event publishes go through an outbox table so a write never succeeds while its event is lost.
- Guards every step handler with an idempotency key (saga_id plus step_name) so duplicate SagaStepCompleted events are skipped instead of double-charging or double-reserving.
- On any step failure, flips the saga to COMPENSATING and walks the completed steps in reverse order, firing each compensation with the original result attached. Failed compensations land in a dead letter queue for manual intervention.
- Enforces per-step timeouts (scheduler checks an executing step against its deadline) and a saga-wide deadline; a timed-out step is marked FAILED and triggers the same reverse compensation chain, with concurrent saga limits and stuck-saga alarms keeping blast radius contained.

-
We run a monolith with a few external APIs, is a saga overkill for us?
Sagas earn their complexity when a flow spans services that cannot share one ACID transaction. If a single database transaction covers your flow, use that instead; the included complexity-vs-visibility rule helps you decide between choreography, orchestration, or no saga at all.
-
How do compensations actually undo a step, is it a database rollback?
Not a rollback but a semantic undo: each step has a matching compensation (refund the payment, restock the item) executed in reverse order with correlation IDs for tracing. Idempotency keys and the outbox pattern make retries safe, so a re-run never double-charges.
-
Does it include a managed workflow engine like Temporal?
No. You get patterns and Python templates, the SagaOrchestrator base class with its state machine and a complete order-fulfillment saga. There is no hosted infrastructure; you run it inside your own services or adapt the patterns to an engine you already operate.
