The Complete Course
Over the years, I’ve seen far too many projects run into serious trouble—not because of bad code, but because developers didn’t fully understand how transactions actually work. Features fail silently, data becomes inconsistent, and debugging becomes a nightmare.
What you’ll learn
- Understanding the fundamentals of transaction management in Spring..
- Configuring and managing transactions using Spring’s declarative and programmatic approaches..
- Implementing transactional behavior across different layers of the application..
- Exploring advanced transactional features like save-points, transaction propagation, and isolation levels..
- Handling nested transactions and understanding their implications..
- Optimizing transaction management for performance and reliability..
- Understanding message-driven architecture and its benefits..
- Mastering exception handling strategies within Spring applications..
- Ensure application reliability including the ability to recover from failures..

Requirements
Over the years, I’ve seen far too many projects run into serious trouble—not because of bad code, but because developers didn’t fully understand how transactions actually work. Features fail silently, data becomes inconsistent, and debugging becomes a nightmare.
That’s why I created this course: to give you a clear, practical, and in-depth understanding of transaction management This course is built for engineers who don’t just want to use transactions, but want to understand exactly what’s going on under the hood—how Spring coordinates with the database, what triggers rollbacks, and where hidden bugs often live.
Whether you’re just starting out or have years of backend experience, this course will challenge the assumptions you didn’t even know you were making. You’ll learn how to implement transactions the right way—and avoid the hidden pitfalls that most engineers don’t even realize exist—until something breaks in production.
We’ll start with a quick refresher on the Spring Framework, so even if you’re a bit rusty or new to it, you’ll be up to speed. Then, before diving into Spring’s transactions, we’ll take a step back and understand how transactions work at the database level—because knowing what’s happening under the hood is critical for writing reliable backend code.
From there, we’ll build a complete backend from scratch using Spring Boot, Java, and MySQL, powering a real Angular-based food ordering application (frontend provided). This gives you a practical context to learn and apply everything, not just theory.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How database transactions work and why they matter
- Declarative vs programmatic transaction management in Spring
- Understanding transaction propagation behavior
- Managing exceptions, rollbacks, and how Spring decides when to commit or abort
- The impact of event listeners and transaction synchronization
- Avoiding common transaction pitfalls: self-invocation, lazy loading, silent rollbacks, and more
- Real-world strategies for building reliable, consistent, and maintainable transactional systems
This course blends deep explanations with real development work. You’ll debug, experiment, and build real backend. Every concept is grounded in practical implementation so you can apply what you learn immediately.
By the end, you won’t just know how transactions work—you’ll understand how to use it effectively in real-world systems, avoid subtle bugs, and build robust, data-consistent applications.
