What is Spring Boot distributed transaction problem?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Distributed transactions are difficult due to multiple services and lack of global ACID guarantees.
Deep explanation
In microservices, each service has its own database, making ACID transactions across services impossible. Patterns like Saga, event-driven consistency, and compensation transactions are used instead of traditional two-phase commit.
