Orchestration Pattern
In plain terms
Coordinating services through a central controller.
Going deeper
In the orchestration pattern, a central coordinator directs each service's steps in a workflow, giving clear control and visibility. One component runs the show.
Under the hood
Easier to monitor and change than choreography but adds a central dependency; common in sagas and workflows.
Examples
Workflow engines, saga orchestration, business processes, Temporal/Camunda.
Think of it like...
Like a conductor directing each musician's part in precise sequence.
