Transaction Processing (TP) is a critical aspect of information technology, especially in the context of banking, finance, and e-commerce, where it ensures the integrity, consistency, and durability of data in the face of concurrent access by multiple users. TP systems manage high volumes of transactions, ensuring that each transaction is executed atomically, consistently, isolated, and durably (ACID properties).
