✅ Two calls to same microservice inside one transaction
Greetings,
I have a .NET Core Web client that is accessing a .NET Core API microservice (that uses Entity Framework and Identity). In this service I have a method that creates a user, and another that adds a role to a user. I want to make sure that:
1) the role is added to the user, only if the user is created;
2) the user is only created if the role can also be added, after creation.
Basically I only want to commit to the database if both the user is created and the role is added to said user.
I could achieve this by using a transaction scope in the microservice, but for this specific project I want to keep those two methods separate, and I want to create this transaction at the level of the client, like this:
Register (Client):
Create Transaction (Client):
CreateUser (Service)
AddRole (Service)
Commit/Rollback (Client)
a) Would this be considered a distributed transaction (even if it's for the same database)?
b) Can something like this be achieved using only EF as is?
c) Do I need to implement a sort of unit of work pattern in the microservice to acheve this?
Thank you for your help
