Building modern applications using modular, independent microservices helps increase release velocity and accelerate time-to-value, scale independently, as well as improve resilience by reducing the impact of failure by deploying smaller services . But when your application’s functionality is distributed across multiple microservices, keeping track of state and orchestrating the components of event-driven systems are complex problems to solve.

In this session, we will discuss proven patterns that help solve the challenges inherent in maintaining transaction state in distributed systems, with a focus on the Saga orchestration pattern, targeting AWS Lambda, containers, container image support for AWS Lambda.
