Model for handling object-level database transactions in scalable computing applications

Techniques are described handling database transaction in a manner that is efficient and flexible. In some embodiments, a system receives, through a page of a user interface, a first request to change at least a first data object. The system generates, based on the first request, a first atomic transaction to modify the first data object in a database. Before the first atomic database transaction has committed to the database, the system receives, through the page of the user interface, a second request to change at least a second data object. The system generates, based on the second request, a second atomic transaction to modify the second object in the database. The system may execute the second atomic transaction independently of the first atomic transaction.
