I want to insert data into the database using a single writer and multiple readers approach. However, a question comes to mind: what if transactions are a requirement for me, and how can I handle cases where an error occurs during insertion or validation? How can I roll back everything in such situations? If I have only one program running, I can manage transactions globally. But here's my second question: how can I achieve this in distributed systems?

[@SalihCantekin]

Sorry for the late response; For the first question, the pattern you may be applying would be that IUnitOfWork pattern which helps you create a transaciton in a single point and commit or rollback within the same point. Thus, you may create the transaction and Insert your data to database by using multiple readers, then finalize your transaction. For the second question, you may have to apply something like Distributed Transaction, distributed lock mechanism might be needed to applied as well.
