Thank you for suggestions and replies, will cover them up in my upcoming videos. I try to keep my videos under 10 mins, but this one turned out to become too long because of the context I had to provide in the beginning.
can we have multiple instances of a Saga orchestrator to ensure high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance, by ensuring that only one orchestrator instance handles a particular Saga at any given time.
Yes, it is possible to have multiple instances of a Saga orchestrator to achieve high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance. The key to making this work effectively is to ensure that only one orchestrator instance is responsible for a particular Saga at any given time. This can be achieved through various mechanisms, you can use a distributed locking mechanism (like Zookeeper, Redis, or a database-based lock) to ensure that only one orchestrator instance can handle a particular Saga at any given time. This prevents multiple instances from concurrently processing the same Saga, or you can also Implement a leader election algorithm to designate one orchestrator instance as the active leader responsible for managing Sagas. I have made videos on each of these topics, which you can checkout in my System Design playlist.
