We are using the ACS REST API to insert/update records on submission of a web form. The web form is a basic registration form with first name, last name, email address.
The API is able to insert/update records in the Profile table.
However, when there are simultaneous web form submissions, each web form having it's own API call, we expect only ONE record in the database. One of the API would insert and the other API would update the record.
However, we see 2 records inserted in the Profile table since the API is called at the same time
Does anyone know how this "race condition" is handled within REST API calls?
Do the ACS API calls run sequentially?
Do we need to add unique constraints in the DB to avoid double inserts?
What is the best practice to avoid such conditions?
Thanks,
Ishani
