Anyone who created any of these technologies we now take for granted is likely a boomer <:reynolLUL:428789513154723850>

I'm not sure what the ATOMS transaction architecture is, but apparently he's the guy who created it.

Oh. I do know what it is, I just haven't heard it called that.

atomic transactions is what you mean i think.
atomic (meaning ~ indivisible) in that case refers to transactions which have to go through completely (begin transaction/commit transaction/rollback transaction).
for example: when processing a customer order in your db... you might have to do multiple edits like updating the count of available items, inserting order lines, inserting notifications to be processed, etc.
such things have to go through completely, or not at all (in case of hard errors and so on)... doesn't make sense to do only half of the stuff you need to do, since this would lead to a fucked up state and leaves you with bad data.

Constantly getting told to use Redis instead of MySQL for a lot of persistence at work, then we run into scenarios where Redis replies that the write failed when actually it succeeded... so we retry and end up with duplicate data written. There's a reason this old tech has been used for so long. Transactional guarantees are much needed

I've used MSSQL for a few years at my old job. It's really good and also has really neat tooling

I tend to avoid Microsoft products except for Windows (for gaming). Github doesn't count because they didn't make it they bought it. <:reynolLUL:428789513154723850>

I don't know the particular costs/benefits of Oracle/MySQL as it compares to MS SQL.

just roll with mysql/mariadb or postgres for your private projects... should be more than enough.
or sqlite if the context allows it
