Transactions Overview
Explore the key concepts of transactions in distributed databases with Cosmos DB. Understand the ACID properties, transaction limitations in partitioned containers, and how to implement write transactions using the .NET SDK. This lesson helps you grasp transaction consistency, concurrency control, and practical usage to safely manage data in globally distributed applications.
We'll cover the following...
