Laravel DB Transactions

A series of operations on a DB that occur either all or none

If it’s critical that a series of operations occur without beign cut in the middle by a power failure or something like that, you use a transaction. I’t ensures that all things in it where done correctly or it reverts and can try again. Transactions can assure idempotency.

A Laravel Example

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

DB::transaction(function () {
    DB::update('update users set votes = 1');

    DB::delete('delete from posts');
});
