Implement Saga Patterns in Microservices With NestJS and Kafka

Handling distributed transactions in microservices is challenging due to their decentralized nature. The saga pattern, which breaks down large transactions into smaller, compensating transactions, addresses these challenges. This guide explains how to implement the saga pattern using NestJS, Kafka, and TypeScript. It covers both choreography and orchestration approaches, sets up a microservices architecture, and demonstrates how to use Kafka for event-driven communication to maintain data consistency and reliability.
