Which pattern should be used to invoke multiple HTTP APIs in parallel and roll back failed requests in sequence?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To invoke multiple HTTP APIs in parallel and roll back failed requests in sequence, the developer should use a Scatter-Gather router as a central Saga orchestrator for all API requests with compensating actions for failing routes. A Scatter-Gather router executes multiple routes concurrently and aggregates the results. A Saga orchestrator coordinates a series of actions across different services and handles failures by executing compensating actions. Therefore, using a Scatter-Gather router as a Saga orchestrator allows invoking multiple HTTP APIs in parallel and rolling back any failed requests in sequence.

C is interesting, but can it really handle all those compensating actions effectively?

I was leaning towards option C as well, but I wonder if the VM queues could also work for reliability and rollback. It's a tough call!

I feel like the Until Successful router could be useful, but I can't recall if it specifically handles rolling back requests.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember practicing a question about using a Try scope for error handling. Maybe the Parallel for Each scope is the way to go?

I think the Scatter-Gather pattern might be the right choice since it allows for parallel processing and can handle compensating actions for failures.

The Scatter-Gather pattern with a Saga orchestrator sounds like the most comprehensive solution to me. It should allow for the parallel API calls and provide a way to handle the rollbacks if any requests fail. I think I'd go with that one.

I'm a bit confused by the VM queues and error handlers option. That doesn't seem like it would address the need for parallel processing and rollbacks. I'm leaning more towards the Scatter-Gather or Parallel for Each approaches.

I'm pretty confident the database transactional outbox and Until Successful router is the way to go here. That pattern seems well-suited for handling the parallel API calls and retrying failed requests.

Hmm, the Parallel for Each scope with Try scopes seems like a simpler solution that could also work. I'd want to double-check the details, but that might be a good option to consider.

A database as a transactional outbox? Now that's an interesting approach. I'd have to read up more on that, but it could be a clever way to handle the rollbacks.

Haha, option D with VM queues and error handlers? Sounds like a whole lot of complexity just for a few API calls. I'll pass on that one.
