Daily Term: ACID Transactions

ACID Transactions

ACID Transactions ensure reliable database operations through four properties: Atomicity (transactions are all-or-nothing), Consistency (transactions maintain data integrity), Isolation (transactions are independent), and Durability (committed changes are permanent). For example, in a banking app, an ACID transaction ensures a money transfer either completes fully or doesn’t happen at all. ACID is common in relational databases but can be challenging to scale in distributed systems.
