Transactions for Microservices?

Overview

This presentation illustrates the use of compensating transactions. The material outlines the problems associated with the use of full-ACID and identifies how a technique known as Long Running Actions can be a better fit.

Usage 1: Local

The demonstator is fully automated via the run.sh script. Different versions of Narayana can be configured with the appropriate environment variable:

<NARAYANA_VERSION=...> ./run.sh

The final output that is expected is:

    }
  ]
}

Usage 2: OpenShift

Assuming you have Minishift installed (https://docs.openshift.org/latest/minishift/getting-started/installing.html) you should be able to run using:

./minishift.sh

The final output that is expected is:
