Choreography vs Orchestration in serverless microservices

slides:none on file

Compares event-driven choreography with a central orchestrator and shows a concrete rewrite: an event-heavy image app called Pika Daily is converted to HTTP-driven orchestration using Google Cloud Workflows. Demonstrates removing parsing for three different event formats, cutting glue code, centralizing retries/timeouts and getting a visual flowchart and per-step failures, while trading away parallelism and adding YAML-debugging and a new service to learn. Includes live demo of uploads, metadata extraction, thumbnails and collages succeeding under the workflow.
