Achieving atomicity in a chain of microservices

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
• a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
• initiating, by a microservice fabric controller, a call flow comprising a plurality of transactions through a microservices chain comprising a plurality of microservices;
• detecting, by the microservice fabric controller, a transaction failure of a selected one of the plurality of transactions at a selected one of the plurality of microservices, wherein the selected microservice is positioned in the microservices chain subsequent to at least one successful microservice;
• and
• retrying, by the microservice fabric controller, the selected transaction on the selected microservice without disrupting the at least one successful microservice.

A computer program product stored in a computer readable storage medium, comprising computer program code that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions comprising:

• initiating, by a microservice fabric controller, a call flow comprising a plurality of transactions through a microservices chain comprising a plurality of microservices;
• detecting, by the microservice fabric controller, a transaction failure of a selected one of the plurality of transactions at a selected one of the plurality of microservices, wherein the selected microservice is positioned in the microservices chain subsequent to at least one successful microservice;
• and
• retrying, by the microservice fabric controller, the selected transaction on the selected microservice without disrupting the at least one successful microservice.
