Summary

The text provides a comprehensive guide on implementing database transactions in Strapi, a headless content management system built with React.js and Node.js. It illustrates the importance of using transactions to prevent partial data processing and ensure consistency, particularly in scenarios involving critical operations like financial transfers. The guide details how to integrate transactions using Knex.js and Bookshelf.js libraries, which Strapi relies on for database interactions, covering both theoretical concepts and practical application through code examples. The document also highlights the significance of transactions in preventing race conditions and maintaining data integrity, demonstrating the potential pitfalls of handling multiple database queries without transactional support. It explains how transactions ensure that queries are isolated, preventing interference and maintaining stability even during concurrent operations, and discusses the role of isolation levels in balancing performance and data safety.
