This talk centers on Apache Seata’s incubation and growth: the path from an Alibaba internal project to Apache incubation, community governance, ecosystem expansion, and release evolution. It analyzes key technical challenges and design decisions in multi-database, cross-language support, performance, and consistency guarantees. The second part presents AI-driven explorations for Seata, including ML-based anomaly transaction detection, intelligent conflict prediction and adaptive rollback strategies, automated performance bottleneck localization, and test-case generation — illustrated with practical case studies and outcomes. Suitable for audiences interested in distributed transaction implementations, open-source community-building, and AI+middleware practices.
