Service boundaries, discovery, inter-service calls, and decomposition patterns.
How to Mock a Choreography Saga in Python
Simulate a choreography-based saga with event envelopes, status tracking, and compensating actions to model distributed transactions.

sta…Python Saga Compensating Steps Mock
Mock a distributed transaction saga with forward steps and compensating actions that reverse partial progress on failure.
