Two-Phase Commit vs Saga Visualizer
Compare classic 2PC (prepare → commit) with a saga (local transactions + compensations) when a step fails.
Two-Phase Commit vs Saga
Step a multi-service booking through 2PC or a saga, then inject a failure and compare blocking commit vs compensation.
Services: Inventory → Payment → Shipping. 2PC uses prepare/commit; saga runs local commits then compensates on failure.
When to use which
- 2PC: strong atomicity across few participants, blocking risk
- Saga: long-running business flows, eventual consistency via compensations
