Design and implementation of a microservices architecture oriented to work with distributed transactions

Abstract

When working with microservices there are different paths that can be taken, endless technologies that can be used, and for now there is no standardized path that software architects and developers should take to implement this architecture pattern. For distributed transactions at the level of different microservices, there is no specific path to take, as in previous technologies that leveraged application servers and specialized components, custom-developed for software house technologies that made trust in solutions was high. That is why this research proposes a transaction processing system to apply compensation and reversal in distributed transactions of microservices, unrelated to the implemented technology and without affecting the performance of microservices. An architecture based on the event pattern is proposed and implemented, leveraging on cloud computing for availability of microservices, event processing and data persistence. In order to provide a tool for software architects and developers to solve the problem of orchestrating distributed transactions at the level of different microservices.
