Techniques a provided for performing multi-system operations in which changes are asynchronously committed in multiple systems. Metadata about the multi-system operation is injected into the commit logs of one system involved in a multi-system operation. An event stream is generated based on the commit logs of the one system, and is used to drive the operations that one or more other systems need to perform as part of the multi-system operation. A reconciliation system reads the logs of all systems involved in the multi-system operation and determines whether the multi-system operation completed successfully. Techniques are also provided for using machine learning to generate models of normal execution of different types of operations, detect anomalies, pre-emptively send expectation messages, and automatically suggest and/or apply fixes.
