Understanding Orchestration vs. Choreography in Software Design
Discover the key differences between orchestration and choreography in software design, and learn how to choose the right approach for seamless and scalable systems.
Microservices architecture has become a popular approach for building scalable and flexible applications. When dealing with distributed services and having a microservice architecture in place, each service must be independent, communicating and exchanging data with other benefits. This is where integration patterns come in. Two popular integration patterns for microservices are orchestration and choreography.
In software engineering, particularly in microservices architecture and distributed systems, the terms Choreography and Orchestration are crucial to understanding how different services interact to achieve a common goal. Both approaches offer distinct methods of managing the interactions between services, each with its own set of advantages and challenges.
