apache/incubator-seata

This system is a distributed transaction coordination framework that manages global and branch transaction states across microservices. It provides mechanisms for transaction propagation over various RPC and messaging protocols, including gRPC, Dubbo, and HTTP, while supporting multiple storage backends and serialization formats. The architecture emphasizes extensibility through a service loader pattern and offers comprehensive integration with Spring Boot and popular configuration and registry centers.

This period marks the comprehensive migration of the Seata project to the Apache Software Foundation, involving a complete package namespace shift from io.seata to org.apache.seata. The codebase was refactored to support modern distributed transaction protocols, including a new RPC framework, enhanced serialization with security whitelists, and expanded support for configuration centers like Nacos, Apollo, and Consul. Additionally, the project introduced robust tooling, including Helm charts, database initialization scripts, and a visual designer for Saga state machines, while maintaining backward compatibility through a dedicated shim layer.

This period focused on modernizing the project's integration with the Spring Boot ecosystem through comprehensive auto-configuration and property binding. Simultaneously, extensive new features were added to support distributed transaction context propagation across various RPC frameworks, including gRPC, HTTP, bRPC, Dubbo, and HSF. The work also included expanding serialization support with Fory and Fastjson2, adding a benchmark CLI tool, and significantly increasing test coverage for core components.
