Embracing Transactions • Reid Draper • GOTO 2016

This presentation was recorded at Chicago's GOTO Night http://gotochgo.com Reid Draper - Director of Engineering at Helium @PumaReid RESOURCES https://x.com/reiddraper https://github.com/reiddraper https://www.linkedin.com/in/reiddraper https://reiddraper.com ABSTRACT Transactions are a mainstay of modern database theory, economics, and concurrency control. At the core of transactions is the notion of an atomic, or indivisible unit -- a transaction is either wholly applied, or not. Typically, however, transactions don't compose in our programming languages. We can run two transactions back-to-back, but we can't combine two transactions into one. Sadly, this limits just how reusable a transaction is. https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?
