# Distributed Patterns — Core Distributed System Pattern Guide
Detailed pattern implementations for inter-microservice communication, data consistency, and fault tolerance.
## 1. Saga Pattern
### Choreography vs Orchestration Selection
| Criteria | Choreography | Orchestration |
|----------|-------------|---------------|
| Number of services | 2-4 | 5 or more |
| Flow complexity | Linear | Branching/conditional |
| Coupling | Event-driven loose coupling | Centralized in orchestrator |
| Visibility | Difficult to trace flow | Central state management |
