What is ACID Compliance?
FAQ
Yes! MongoDB is fully ACID-compliant with ACID transactions Taking advantage of the document-data model and storing related data together negates the need for transactions. But in the event they are required, MongoDB supports multi-document and distributed multi-document ACID transactions.
ACID stands for Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, Durable and refers to a set of principles around how data transactions will be treated, allowing for high reliability and correctness. In the event any operation in a transaction cannot be completed, the transaction will fail and the changes will be rolled back.
Although not strictly compulsory, it is recommended to use a database such as MongoDB that is ACID-compliant because it allows for confidence that the data in your database is correct and has not been impacted by any other transactions or unexpected system issues.
