How can I perform bulk inserts in Django ORM within a transaction?

You can use the bulk_create method in Django ORM to perform bulk inserts. To ensure it's within a transaction, you can use the transaction.atomic() context manager.

Can you show me a code example of that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.db import transaction
from myapp.models import MyModel

objects = [MyModel(field1='value1'), MyModel(field1='value2')]

with transaction.atomic():
    MyModel.objects.bulk_create(objects)

What happens if one of the inserts fails?

If one of the inserts fails within the transaction.atomic() block, all changes made in that block will be rolled back, ensuring data integrity.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, while bulk inserts are generally faster than individual inserts, you should be cautious about the number of objects you insert at once, as very large batches can lead to memory issues.
