Spring Add support for Sagas (Compensating) Transactions [SPR-15335]

MIhalcea Vlad opened SPR-15335 and commented

In the world of MicroServices, Saga transactions are a way to ensure that you can enroll multiple service calls into a workflow so that you can execute a long-running transaction without having to take any locks or imply a 2PC transaction manager, which is not suitable in a distributed system scenario where processing times can be invariable.

Currently, there is little support for the Saga pattern. I also found that Axon supports it, and possibly Narayana.

It would be great if we can discuss if there is a way to add this in Spring framework since it's definitely a handy feature. I assume that Sagas go hand-in-hand with the Spring 5 Reactive approach.
