Statecommit
Statecommit is a term used in software engineering to describe the process and pattern of persisting and finalizing changes to an application's state in a coordinated, atomic manner. The concept focuses on aligning in-memory state updates with durable storage and a verifiable record of changes, so that the system can recover predictably after failures and support consistent replication or auditing.
Core ideas behind statecommit include atomicity, durability, and recoverability. An operation or sequence of operations is
Common approaches to implementing statecommit include write-ahead logging, where change records are written before the state
Applications for statecommit span databases, message brokers, distributed services, and user-interface layers that require reliable undo/redo,
