Abstract

Methods and systems may be associated with an Open Service Broker (“OSB”) Application Programming Interface (“API”) computing environment. A persistent finite state machine may be associated with an OSB API service broker, and a database may store a current state of the service broker. A computer processor of a state machine executor may retrieve the current state of the service broker from the database, and (based on the current state) use the persistent finite state machine to coordinate a distributed transaction workflow for the service broker, the distributed transaction workflow including asynchronous instance OSB API lifecycle operations that span multiple entities. The state machine may then update the database with state outputs for the service broker.
