What is transactional load? What was the transactional load in your system?

Transactional load is the number of transactions (operations with guarantees of atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) that a system processes per unit of time. In the context of databases or distributed systems, this could be the number of commits, write requests, or updates.

In my system, transactional load depended on the specifics of the application. For example, in a financial service, up to several thousand transactions per second were processed, each requiring strict consistency and isolation. Optimizations at the database level, caching, and load distribution across multiple instances were used for this.

It is important to consider that high transactional load requires a well-thought-out architecture to avoid deadlocks and ensure scalability.
