Apache Seata (incubating) is an open-source, high-performance distributed transaction solution for microservices architectures. It provides AT, TCC, SAGA, and XA transaction modes to maintain data consistency across services with separate databases.
Use cases
- ensure data consistency across microservices with separate databases
- manage distributed transactions spanning multiple services
- implement saga-based long-running transactions
- add non-intrusive automatic rollback for JDBC-based services
- coordinate TCC transactions in a Java microservices stack
- maintain consistency during cross-service order and payment flows
When to choose
- you run Java microservices with a database-per-service pattern and need cross-service ACID guarantees
- you want a non-intrusive AT mode that works with JDBC and relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle
- you need multiple transaction models (AT, TCC, SAGA, XA) in one solution
- you use RPC frameworks like Dubbo, Spring Cloud, gRPC, or Sofa-RPC
When to avoid
- your application is a monolith with a single local database where local transactions suffice
- you need distributed transactions in non-JVM languages, as Seata is Java-centric
- you prefer eventual consistency via messaging/event sourcing rather than coordinated transactions
- you cannot operate the additional Seata transaction coordinator (TC) server component
