An embedded transactional database library for Go that handles account-based financial operations with multithreaded performance.
Transaction is an embedded database library designed specifically for managing accounts and financial transactions. It provides a lightweight, high-performance solution for applications requiring reliable account balance management with full transactional guarantees, using an integer-only model for balances.
Developers building financial applications, such as payment systems, accounting software, or trading platforms, that need embedded, multithreaded account management with strict transactional integrity.
Developers choose Transaction for its multithreaded performance, handling millions of requests per second, and its enforcement of transactional boundaries to prevent erroneous balance changes, ensuring safety and correctness in financial operations.
Embedded database for accounts transactions.

Benchmarks show it processes millions of requests per second with parallel execution, making it ideal for high-throughput financial systems as highlighted in the README.
Enforces all debit and credit operations within transactions, preventing erroneous balance changes and ensuring safety in parallel access, as per the library's philosophy.
Organizes accounts under units like customers or companies with automatic account creation for nonexistent accounts during transactions, simplifying management.
Provides save and load functionality to persist database state to disk, though it's basic and lacks advanced features like Write-Ahead Logging as noted in the ToDo.
Requires manual scaling for fractional amounts (e.g., multiplying by 100 for cents), which adds complexity and potential for errors in financial calculations.
Acknowledges lack of Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) in the ToDo, which could compromise reliability in crash scenarios compared to more mature databases.
Uses numerous specific error codes (e.g., ErrCodeUnitNotEmpty, ErrCodeTransactionCatch), making debugging and integration more challenging for developers.
Focused solely on account management without general database capabilities like querying or indexing, limiting its applicability beyond financial transactions.
