How can you ensure atomicity (all-or-nothing) when performing composite operations across multiple resources?
AUse GET method for all operations.
BUse transactions or rollback support provided by the API server.
CSend each operation as a separate HTTP request.
DInclude a delay between operations in the composite request.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand atomicity in composite operations
Atomicity means either all operations succeed or none do, requiring transaction or rollback support.
Step 2: Evaluate options
Only Use transactions or rollback support provided by the API server. describes this; sending separate requests or using GET does not guarantee atomicity; delays do not affect atomicity.
Final Answer:
Use transactions or rollback support provided by the API server. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Atomicity needs transactions = C [OK]
Quick Trick:Atomic composite ops need server-side transaction support [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
Thinking separate requests ensure atomicity
Using GET method for changes
Adding delays to control atomicity
