The Saga pattern addresses the complexity of managing multi-step business transactions by ensuring consistency across distributed systems through a series of compensating actions for failure scenarios. Temporal simplifies implementing the Saga pattern by providing an open-source durable execution platform that automates state saving, retries, and failure recovery. Using Temporal, developers only need to code the transaction steps and their compensations; the Temporal Server handles scheduling, retry logic, and state tracking. This significantly reduces the complexity and risk involved in handling distributed transactions, making Saga implementation more manageable and reliable.
