advancedMongoDB Transactions — Single & Multi-Document ACID
What should your application do when it receives a TransientTransactionError from MongoDB?
Retry it — MongoDB's drivers surface TransientTransactionError specifically to signal a safe, expected-to-be-retried condition, not a hard failure. Code that doesn't retry it treats a normal, recoverable outcome (like a brief write conflict) as if the operation genuinely failed.
