Abstract: An access service is positioned between a set of container groups and a SQL database service. Upon receipt, at the access service, of a REST request from any container group indicating that a SQL transaction should be started, an entry is created in a staging database, separate from the SQL database service, to track the SQL transaction. Multiple connections are allowed to be established from the container groups to the access service over which other REST requests from any container group are sent. The other REST requests include details of SQL operations to be performed as part of the SQL transaction. The details are cached in the staging database. Upon receiving a REST request from any container group indicating that the SQL transaction should be committed, a single connection is established between the access service and SQL database service to commit the transaction, including the details, as an atomic transaction.
