Configuring Saga Steps

Saga flows start with a single START node and can have one or more SUCCESS / FAIL nodes as the exit point. Other nodes are linked as sequential steps in between them and have the following common parameters:

• Name: Descriptive name of the step, which will be displayed on saga graph

• Description: Detailed description of what this step will perform

• Stroke: Stroke color of the step on saga graph

• Fill: Fill color of the step on saga graph

• Auto Fail: Whether saga should automatically fail if this step fails

• Continue on Fail: Whether saga step should continue on fail (to override in case saga itself is configured as Auto Fail)

Step types

Saga graphs are built from a small set of step types. Each type has different configuration fields and runtime behavior.

Control steps

These steps define entry and exit points of the flow:

• Start: Entry point for the saga execution.

• Success: A successful exit point.

• Fail: A failure exit point.

Action and logic steps

These steps do the work between Start and exit nodes:

• Event Step: calls an event handler action with parameters.

• Transform Step: transforms the current payload and passes the output forward.

• Condition Step: evaluates a condition and routes to different next steps.

Connecting steps

• Step Link: defines how the flow moves from one step to the next. Use condition values to model branching and default (*) paths.
