Configure Transaction in Spring Boot

Why Do We Need Transaction Management?

Let’s understand transactions with the above example, if a user has entered his information the user’s information gets stored in the user_info table. Now, to book a ticket he makes an online payment and due to some reason(system failure) the payment has been canceled so, the ticket is not booked for him. But, the problem is that his information gets stored on the user_info table. On a large scale, more than thousands of these things happen within a single day. So, it is not good practice to store a single action of the transaction(Here, only user info is stored not the payment info)....

@Transactional Annotation

In Spring Boot, @Transactional annotation is used to manage transactions in a Spring boot application and used to define a scope of transaction. This annotation can be applied to the class level or method level. It provides data reliability and consistency. When a method is indicated with @Transactional annotation, it indicates that the particular method should be executed within the context of that transaction. If the transaction becomes successful then the changes made to the database are committed, if any transaction fails, all the changes made to that particular transaction can be rollback and it will ensure that the database remains in a consistent state....
