This is a really tough problem to solve. I know Alibaba and WePay both have made solutions to try and handle it at scale

At the end of the day I don't think anyone should be coding distributed transactions into their app's. If you need use a solution that abstracts them for you. Eventually we will get one into Vitess ( https://vitess.io ) when we have figured out something general purpose enough to work for lots of workloads

JBoss Narayana provides a useful implementation of the Saga Pattern that makes it fairly easy to plug that pattern into microservices interactions.

in one of the situation, we had a similar problem of scaling and consistency not going hand in hand, at that time batch process solves Lot of our problems.
