The choice of transactional attributes in Spring Boot depends on the specific requirements and characteristics of your application. There is no one-size-fits-all "best" approach as it varies based on the use case. However, here are a few considerations to help you make informed decisions:
propagation: The REQUIRED propagation is often the default and commonly used. It ensures that a method participates in an existing transaction if one exists, or it creates a new transaction if no transaction is active. This propagation is suitable when you want multiple operations to be treated as a single transaction, and the outermost method controls the transactional behavior.
isolation: The appropriate isolation level depends on the data consistency requirements of your application. For most cases, READ_COMMITTED is sufficient, as it provides a good balance between data integrity and performance. However, in scenarios where you need stricter isolation, such as preventing phantom reads, you can choose higher isolation levels like REPEATABLE_READ or SERIALIZABLE.
readOnly: If a method only reads data and doesnt modify it, setting readOnly to true can improve performance. It allows the transaction manager to apply certain optimizations knowing that no changes will be made.
timeout: Use timeout to specify the maximum time a transaction should be allowed to run before timing out and being rolled back. Set an appropriate value based on the expected execution time of your transaction to prevent long-running transactions from blocking resources.
rollbackFor/noRollbackFor: Specify the exceptions that should trigger a transaction rollback using rollbackFor. By default, Spring rolls back transactions for unchecked exceptions (RuntimeExceptions) and Errors. You can customize this behavior by specifying specific exception types to trigger a rollback or exclude specific exceptions from rolling back.
Its important to carefully analyze your applications requirements and consider factors like data consistency, performance, and exception handling when choosing transactional attributes. Additionally, testing and evaluating the behavior of your transactions in different scenarios can help you fine-tune the attributes to achieve the desired transactional behavior.
