Explain saga orchestration vs choreography.

Mid Microservices
Quick Answer Saga orchestration: a central orchestrator (saga manager) tells each service what to do in sequence and handles compensations. Easier to see the full flow, single place to add logic, but creates a central point of coupling. Choreography: each service reacts to events and publishes new ones. Fully decoupled but harder to understand the overall flow and debug.

Answer

Orchestration: Central controller directs saga.

Choreography: Services react to each other's events.
