Curious - how do you end up handling transactions that span services?

I'm getting into go, but there doesn't seem to be a great pattern for this. Used to @Transactional on the service, so feels annoying in having to build that.

I think the answers requires more context, but for example one well known pattern is called “sagas” for implementing long lived distributed transactions.

The gist is you timeout but provide a way for transactions to resume.

Also obviously there’s 2PC but again it depends on what unite trying to solve.

How does @Transactional span services? With a JtaTransaction manager?

If you are saying about micro services here which talk grpc/http then @Transactional does not help.

If you are talking about inside one service then you have write all that boilerplates, and it will not look as simple as Java
