Abstract
In one embodiment, a sequence of microservice steps may be performed according to a programmed microservice workflow, while determining which executed tasks within the performed sequence of microservice steps have an individually corresponding rollback defined within the particular task. As such, a rollback path is stored corresponding to reversing the sequence of those executed tasks having an individually corresponding rollback, and, for each executed task having an individually corresponding rollback, a current status of the microservice workflow is also stored as a respective rollback status within the rollback path. In response to detecting, during the performing, an error event at a particular multiservice step of the sequence of microservice steps, the rollback path may be executed by performing the individually corresponding rollback of each task having an individually corresponding rollback along the rollback path according to the respective rollback status, until either success or failure of the rollback path.
