1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining a first one of a plurality of consistency levels to be applied for a transaction in a distributed database comprising a set of database nodes, wherein the distributed database comprises a highly consistent distributed database; and
in response to determining that the first one of the plurality of consistency levels is to be applied:
configuring at least two connections with the distributed database;
releasing a first one of the at least two connections in response to detecting that the transaction completed on a first database node in the set of database nodes; and
in response to one or more of the other database nodes in the set of database nodes being updated to reflect changes on the first database node resulting from the transaction, releasing at least a second one of the at least two connections;
