About This Architecture
E-commerce saga choreography pattern orchestrates order fulfillment across four bounded contexts—Order, Payment, Inventory, and Shipping—each with dedicated microservices, databases, and sidecar proxies. Client requests flow through an API Gateway to the Order Service, which publishes events to a Kafka message broker that triggers asynchronous workflows across Payment, Inventory, and Shipping services. Shared infrastructure including Consul service discovery, a config server, Prometheus monitoring, and centralized logging provide operational visibility and resilience across the distributed system. This choreography-based saga pattern eliminates tight coupling and single points of failure, enabling independent service scaling and deployment while maintaining transactional consistency across the order lifecycle.
