Handling transactions and concurrency
In the realm of database management, two critical aspects govern the reliability and performance of applications: handling transactions and managing concurrency.
Transactions, encapsulating a series of database operations, are fundamental for maintaining data consistency by ensuring that changes occur as a single unit of work. Concurrency, on the other hand, addresses the challenge of managing simultaneous access to shared resources by multiple users or processes.
The relationship between transactions and concurrency becomes apparent when considering scenarios where multiple transactions may attempt to access or modify the same data concurrently. Without proper concurrency control mechanisms such as locking, transactions could interfere with each other, potentially leading to data corruption or inconsistencies.
The recipe will show how to manage transactions and concurrency with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy by emulating the process of selling...
