Great presentation. Still relevant in 2023 👍

Very helpful presentation. Saved me a lot of effort in understanding why and how Saga is used for orchestrating a transaction

[laytonmiller]

Finally, the slides and the video at the same time. Also, excellent presentation. Very knowledgeable.

This talk will be relevant for a while as we all are looking into various ways forms of asynchronous data, multiple data streams, and complex dependencies in transactions . Love this talk

[iloveyeseul]

what a clear presentation!! Thanks to your talk, i figure out what saga pattern is and could imagine what redux-saga does. Thx again!!

[jjong]

So much comprehensive explanation that irresistibly leads me to understand what saga is

[davedoan]

Thank u so much for this presentation. Still worth for watching in 2025 and so on

Need to learn the Saga Pattern for my first developer job, and this video was certainly a superb starting point!
Seldom does new concepts click as fast and easily as this one did after watching your talk.


Thank you, Caitie!

[ValeriyaSerdyukova]

Awesome talk. Thanks for a great presentation

Great presentation. Still relevant in 2025 👍

An LLT is a saga if it can be written as a sequence of transactions that can be interleaved *with other transactions*. What the presenter mentioned at 10:11 (the one gotcha that sub-transactions cannot depend on one another .. T2 cannot take input from T1) is not correct!

Two questions

1. The presenter says they are using Azure Service Bus as a log. How does this work? I don't understand how a queue would be a useful way to store log information.
2. They mention a "CP log", what does that mean in this context?

[legiogallica]

Very clearly and thoroughly explained, thank you.

[sujeetagrahari]

My Ears didn't breathe at all watching whole talk 😂

[CFXplosive]

Although it is a bit fast, and some background knowledge is assumed, it's a great presentation ... Thanks !!

What if the Saga Log node fails? I think from her presentation, the Saga Log node is not allowed to fail.
