How do you atomically create an order and update inventory?
Tests transaction boundaries and SQLAlchemy 2.0 session lifecycle in FastAPI. A strong answer wraps both writes in session.begin(), flushes to catch constraint errors early, and uses exceptions to trigger rollback.
This tests atomic transaction boundary design and SQLAlchemy 2.0 session lifecycle management inside FastAPI. A strong answer uses sessionmaker.begin() as an async context manager, performs the order insert and inventory update in one session, flushes to surface constraint violations before commit, and allows exceptions to bubble up for automatic rollback. A red flag is committing between writes, using multiple independent sessions, or ignoring database-level locking and race conditions on inventory counts.
