Microservices patterns
Service boundaries, discovery, inter-service calls, and decomposition patterns.
Python Saga Compensating Steps Mock
Mock a distributed transaction saga with forward steps and compensating actions that reverse partial progress on failure.
from datetime import datetime
def make_payment(user_id, amount):
print(f"[{datetime.now():%H:%M:%S}] Payment of ${amount} processed for user {user_id}")
return {"step": "payment", "status": "ok", "details": f"${amount} charged"}
def deduct_inventory(order_id, items):
print(f"[{datetime.now():%H:%M:%S}]…Saga pattern orchestration with rollback in Python
Orchestrate a distributed transaction with Saga steps and automated compensation rollback on failure.

self.executed = False
def execute(self):
print(f"Executing {self.name}...")
time.sleep(0.2)

raise RuntimeError(f"{self.name} failed")
