Hello,

I wonder if the book handle information about transactions with microservices , in particular, sagas. Which I've read is the most adequate approach for TX in this kind of architecture.

Regards,

Hi German,

Chapter 4 goes into detail on the implication of microservices for transactions. Basically, you can't really do transactions between microservices, unless you want all the fun of distributed transactions.
Better to try to keep transactional stuff inside individual services.

Consider also if you need transactions in the first place. The correctness/complexity/latency trade-off might not make business sense
