A lot of database tools these days prioritize instant sharing of updates over transactions and ACID properties. Example: Airtable. As soon as you update a field the update shows up on your coworkers screen who also has the same table open. The downside of this is that Airtable doesn't do transactions. And the downside of not doing transactions is potentially dangerous data inconsistencies. More about that here: https://visualdb.com/blog/concurrencycontrol/
