Breaking down a monolith or managing transactions in a distributed system are common challenges today when we talk about IT architecture. Still, we need to be able to find the right glue for a polyglot system.

The glue should not be too sticky, ensuring everything remains loosely coupled. Still, we want to be able to understand more complex Sagas in our system. Modern workflow engines provide a glue to orchestrate microservices in a loosely coupled way. Like adding glitter to glue the right workflow engine adds functionalities to define Saga rollbacks, error handling, and retries and therefore helps to reduce boilerplate code.
The presentation will give insight on how to orchestrate microservices with Open Source technology.
