## Description

dtm is a distributed transaction framework and workflow orchestrator designed to manage data consistency across microservices. It functions as a centralized coordinator that synchronizes distributed transactions and manages the state and execution flow of complex sequences of distributed tasks.

The framework implements several coordination patterns, including Saga, TCC, and XA, to prevent synchronization errors. It specifically provides a multi-language transaction coordinator to synchronize operations across services written in different programming languages and utilizes a reliable messaging outbox to couple database updates with message dispatching.

Its capability surface covers distributed system recovery through compensating transaction rollbacks, two-phase commit coordination, and exactly-once message delivery. The infrastructure supports horizontal capacity expansion and high availability configurations to maintain stability as request volumes increase.
