Two-phase commit: A protocol used in distributed computing to achieve consensus across multiple systems or components during a transaction. The protocol involves two phases – the prepare phase, where all systems are asked if they are ready to commit to a transaction, and the commit phase, where the transaction is either committed on all systems or rolled back on all systems to maintain consistency.
