"Transactions: myths, surprises and opportunities" by Martin Kleppmann
Strange Loop Conference
Martin Kleppmann's Strange Loop talk on database transactions, covering why they were dropped by NoSQL, their reputation for being slow, and newer algorithms that make serializable transactions perform and scale. It touches on consistency, linearizability and the CAP theorem.
Recommended as a compact preview of Kleppmann's data systems material, including from his book on the subject.
