Concurrency with MongoDB Explained
Letâs move back to practical usage and look at MongoDB since itâs the most used NoSQL database for Node.js applications.
MongoDB doesnât guarantee ACID compliance[40] in all cases. For example, MongoDB doesnât have transactions and atomic functions that cover multiple documents. So if you have a database model where you need to avoid concurrency issues with multiple documents at the same time, youâre in trouble. For example, you might have an e-commerce application that needs to decrement the number of products in the warehouse inventory while at the same time withdrawing money from the userâs wallet.
