How is data consistency ensured in the project?

Data consistency is ensured at multiple levels:
- Transactions and ACID: Using transactions in the database for atomic operations.
- Locking mechanisms: In Go, mutexes or channels can be used to synchronize access to shared data.
- Idempotency of operations: so that repeated calls do not lead to inconsistency.
- Eventual consistency: if a distributed system is used, it is important to understand the consistency model and apply appropriate patterns (e.g., compensating transactions).
Example in Go with mutex to protect a shared resource:
var mu sync.Mutex
var sharedData int
func updateData(val int) {
mu.Lock()
defer mu.Unlock()
sharedData += val
}
It is also important to use reliable databases with transaction support and to properly design error handling logic.
