Distributed Transactions

Summary

Distributed transactions are transactions that involve multiple databases or systems that need to be coordinated to ensure data integrity and consistency.

Detailed Description

A distributed transaction allows for the execution of a transaction across multiple systems or databases. To maintain the integrity of these transactions, protocols like the two-phase commit (2PC) protocol are used to ensure that all participating systems agree on the transaction. If one part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction is rolled back to prevent inconsistencies. This kind of coordination is essential in scenarios where data is distributed across different locations or platforms, such as in microservices architecture or multi-database setups.
