Seata is a distributed transaction solution for microservices that provides consistent, cross-service commits without forcing every team to adopt the same persistence model. Its architecture separates responsibilities into a global coordinator and per-service participants, so business services remain decoupled while transactions are orchestrated centrally. Multiple modes are supported—AT (automatic, SQL-based with undo logs), TCC (try-confirm-cancel), Saga (long-running compensation), and...

The Secret Lives of Data is an educational visualization project about how data systems work internally. It aims to explain databases, servers, consensus protocols, and distributed systems through interactive visual experiences. The flagship visualization teaches the Raft distributed consensus algorithm in a more approachable way than a traditional paper or static diagram. The project is built as a web experience with JavaScript, CSS, and static assets. It invites people to suggest new systems that could be explained through similar visualizations. It is useful for engineers, students, and technical readers who want to understand reliability and data flow concepts without starting from dense theory.
