Distributed Transactions from the Kotlin SDK
- how-to
Distributed ACID Transactions with JVM SDKs. Kotlin transactions are available as a developer preview, or use Java ACID transactions within the Kotlin SDK
With Kotlin SDK 1.4.4, multi-document ACID transactions is available as a developer preview — the Kotlin transactions API is still "volatile", meaning it could change without notice as we refine it.
Kotlin Transactions — Developer Preview
If you are interested in trying out the developer preview of Kotlin multi-document ACID transactions, introduced with SDK 1.4.4, the following resources will help you to get started:
-
Kotlin API Reference.
-
Intro guide in Couchbase Forum post.

Java Transactions from the Kotlin SDK
To implement the Java SDK implementation of distributed ACID transactions into your Kotlin client code, you will need to include the Couchbase Java SDK in your project.
Create a com.couchbase.client.java.Cluster
in your Kotlin app with the normal Java calls (Cluster.connect(…))
, and then do transactions on it as normal, e.g.:
javaCluster.transactions().run(ctx => { /* your transaction logic here */ })
So in your app you have both a com.couchbase.client.java.Cluster
and a com.couchbase.client.kotlin.Cluster
, which are independent connections.
