It breaks a transaction into a series of smaller, coordinated steps across services.
The Saga pattern manages distributed transactions by splitting them into smaller, manageable steps, each being a local transaction within a microservice. If one step fails, compensating transactions are executed to undo previous steps. For instance, in an order processing system, if payment fails, a compensating transaction might cancel the order and restock the inventory.
