# SAGA Pattern implemented in Go
This is an example of how a [SAGA Pattern](https://medium.com/cloud-native-daily/microservices-patterns-part-04-saga-pattern-a7f85d8d4aa3) can be implemented using an Choreography structure in Go. This is purely educational.
This project will also showcase (using different branches) how we can simplify the life of the developer experience with the introduction of tools such as Skaffold, Helm and Make.
# Structure of the project
For this project, we are going to show a minimal setup of 3 microservices:
- Order: Service incharge of handling all the orders that are made to our restaurant
- Payment: Service incharge of handling all the payments of all the orders
- Deliveries: Service incharge of handling all the deliveres to the user
# How to run it?
> [!IMPORTANT]
> On every branch you can find the SAGA pattern implemented the same way, the only thing that will change is our toolset
This is a complex question as you may think, but this are the step depending on the branch that you are placed:
## Basic tooling
For this setup our main tools are:
- Docker compose for development
And the idea to put this into a production stage is basically using ECS.
## Easier Developer Experience
In this stage, we are introducing Skaffold and K8S (using minikube for easier development locally).
## Don't want to repeat, let's template
In this stage, Helm is introduce to avoid duplication inside of our YAML's and have a versioning of our deployments.
