About this listen
Welcome back to TechTalks with Manoj — the show where we cut through distributed systems theory and talk about what actually survives production.
Today, we’re diving into Choreography vs Orchestration in microservices.
On paper, choreography promises freedom — no central controller, no bottlenecks, just services reacting to events.In reality, it’s also how teams end up with distributed workflows no one can fully see, trace, or explain at 2 AM.
In this episode, we’ll break down how choreography really works with Sagas, events, and compensation — why the Transactional Outbox is non-negotiable — and when orchestration is still the smarter, more boring, but safer choice.
If you’ve ever wondered where your request actually went, or why your “decoupled” system feels harder to operate every month —this one’s for you.
Let’s get into it. 🎙️
