In building Omicron, the control plane at Oxide, we took inspiration from Caitie McCaffrey's resurrection of an old database idea, sagas, as long-lived distributed transactions. On Monday, @ahl and I we will be joined by Oxide engineers @dap and @mycoliza to retell our own saga with sagas in Omicron: why we used it as an abstraction, some of the limitations we encountered, how we addressed those limitations, and where we find use for it today. Join us, 5p Pacific!
