[architecture] Implementing ACID transactions across microservices

Use the Saga pattern: sequence of local transactions where each step publishes an event triggering the next. If a step fails, execute compensating transactions to undo previous steps.

Journey Context:
2PC \(Two-Phase Commit\) locks resources and is slow/fragile over networks. Sagas favor availability over immediate consistency \(BASE\). Choreography \(event-driven\) vs Orchestration \(central coordinator\). Key risk: lack of isolation \(dirty reads, lost updates\). Use semantic locks or pessimistic views to mitigate. Compensations must be idempotent and ordered correctly.
