I've read a post saying that:
We can not implement traditional transaction system like 2 phase commit in micro-services

Does Two-phase Commit Protect Against Final Commit Failures?
Suppose all the databases involved in a distributed transaction implemented with two-phase commit signal that they are ready to commit and have the necessary locks. The coordinator signals to commit and all databases execute their portion of the…

Does MS SQLServer support 2-phase commit?
To serve as RM (resource manager) in distributed transaction, DBMS must implement 2-phase commit. Like in PostgreSQL, when you first "pre-commit" local transaction:
