A distributed transaction refers to a transaction that spans multiple nodes or databases in a distributed computing environment. In such transactions, operations are performed on data stored across multiple interconnected systems, often located in different geographical locations. Distributed transactions aim to ensure the atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID properties) of operations across all participating resources, despite potential failures or network partitions. Coordinating distributed transactions requires protocols and mechanisms to handle challenges such as concurrency control, data replication, and communication failures. Examples of distributed transactions include transferring funds between bank accounts in a global banking network or booking a flight ticket through a distributed reservation system. These transactions are crucial for enabling complex business processes and applications that operate on distributed data while maintaining data integrity and consistency across the distributed environment. s://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_transaction
