Manage distributed transactions in Spring Boot microservices by implementing the Saga Pattern to coordinate operations across services. This approach handles compensating transactions to roll back failures and ensures eventual consistency across your architecture.

Handle compensating transactions by implementing the Saga Pattern to define and execute rollback actions when failures occur. If a downstream service like inventory reservation fails, compensating actions refund payments and cancel orders to maintain data integrity.

Achieve eventual consistency by using the Saga Pattern to manage distributed transactions through choreography or orchestration. This pattern coordinates step-by-step service operations, executing compensating actions locally upon failures instead of locking resources globally.

Yes, you can implement choreography or orchestration-based sagas in Spring Boot using Kafka or the Axon Framework. These tools facilitate event-driven communication, enabling services to trigger compensating transactions and coordinate distributed workflows reliably.

Use the Saga Pattern when processing transactions that span multiple microservices, such as e-commerce order workflows. It is needed when you must maintain data integrity and handle rollbacks across independent services without relying on traditional database transactions.
