In Distributed transactions are not microservices
I occasionally check trending repositories of chinse language in github https://github.com/trending?spoken_language_code=zh and github repositories of Alibaba, tencent etc. From the look of it they are very focused on tooling/tutorials on highly salable distributed systems architecture.

Some of those projects are moved to apache foundation. On top of my head I found these projects interesting, * Dolphin Scheduler https://github.com/apache/incubator-dolphinscheduler * Echarts https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts * Ant Design https://ant.design/ * Sky walking APM https://github.com/apache/skywalking * Seata distributed transaction system https://g

Also it seems that every big companies in China have their own RPC framework.
