Even though updateAll is atomic the problem exist.
User A and user B fetch the data at 10:00 and have Post.view_count = 9
User A click the submit button at 10:02 and user B at 10:03.
They both update view_count = 10

I don't think that problem exists here. Using updateAll() should generate a single UPDATE SQL statement, which should be atomic.
