1. Overview

Baker is a library that provides a simple and intuitive way to orchestrate microservice-based process flows. You declare your orchestration logic as a Recipe using the Java, Kotlin, or Scala DSL. A recipe consists of interactions (system calls), ingredients (data), and events.

Baker's ability to visualize recipes provides a powerful communication tool that helps product owners, architects, and engineers have a common understanding of the business process. Baker allows for reuse of common interactions across different recipes, promoting consistency and reducing duplication.
