Besides what sibling has written, write access to IndexedDB also often needs to be guarded by a mutex https://gist.github.com/pesterhazy/4de96193af89a6dd5ce682ce2...



I don't get this complaint, because IndexedDB supports transactions. Why are these insufficient?


IndexedDB transactions give guarantees about atomicity but not about isolation. Note that the word "isolation" doesn't appear in the spec https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/
