Django transaction handling with atomic decorator

Database transactions ensure data integrity when multiple operations must succeed or fail together. I use @transaction.atomic on views or functions to wrap them in a transaction. For partial rollbacks, I use transaction.atomic() as a context manager and catch exceptions inside. The on_commit hook schedules actions (like sending emails) only after successful commit, preventing premature side effects if the transaction rolls back. I'm careful with transactions in loops to avoid locking issues. For complex workflows, I sometimes use savepoints for nested transactions.
