Summary

This multi-document transaction allows for atomic updates of related data, ensuring consistency and preventing inconsistencies due to concurrent modifications. The example uses a hypothetical Airbnb dataset to demonstrate the creation of a reservation in both the users collection (to store the user's reservations) and the listingsAndReviews collection (to update the listing with the reserved dates). The code utilizes MongoDB transactions to ensure that either both updates succeed or fail together, maintaining data integrity.
