Batch Operations

Batch operations allow you to execute multiple operations together as a group.

Unlike bulk operations, batches are about grouping logic, not just improving performance.

---

When to Use Batch Operations

Use batch operations when:

• You want to group multiple operations together
• You want to reduce round trips
• You want to execute related operations in sequence

---

Command: ExecuteBatchAsync

Use ExecuteBatchAsync to run multiple operations in one batch.

Example

await client.ExecuteBatchAsync(batch =>
{
    batch.Put("user:1", "Ali");
    batch.Put("user:2", "Sarah");
    batch.Delete("user:3");
});

---

What Happens in a Batch?

• Operations are sent together in one request
• They are executed in order
• The system processes them as a group

---

Batch vs Bulk

Aspect	Bulk Operations	Batch Operations
Purpose	Process many keys	Group multiple operations
Operation Type	Same type (PutMany, etc.)	Mixed (Put, Delete, etc.)
Execution	Independent	Sequential
Use Case	Performance optimization	Logical grouping

---

Important Notes

• Batch operations are not transactional
• Some operations may succeed while others fail
• Use transactions for strict consistency

---

Example Use Case

await client.ExecuteBatchAsync(batch =>
{
    batch.Put("order:1001", "created");
    batch.Put("inventory:item1", "reserved");
});

This ensures related updates are sent and executed together.

---

When to Use Batch vs Transactions

• Use Batch when:

  • You want grouped execution
  • Partial success is acceptable

• Use Transactions when:

  • You need all-or-nothing behavior
  • Consistency is critical
