Designing Data-Intensive Applications - Chapter 7 - Transactions

Designing Data-Intensive Applications - Chapter 7 - Transactions

Earlier the book club of our company has studied excellent book:

Martin Kleppmann - Designing Data-Intensive Applications

This is the best book I have read about building complex scalable software systems. 💪

As usually I prepared an overview and mind-map.

Chapter 7 is all your DEV team should know about Transactions:

  • The purpose of transactions
  • The concept of transaction: ACID, BASE, single-object and multi-object transactions
  • Weak Isolation Levels: Read Committed, Snapshot Isolation and Repeatable Read. Problems and preventing them: Lost Updates, Write Skew and Phantoms
  • Serializability and three approaches: Actual Serial Execution, Two-Phase Locking (2PL), Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI). Potential problems and performance.
