Organizing Long-Running Activities with Triggers and Transactions

Summary: Organizes long-running, multi-step processes via triggers and nested transactions. Event-condition-action rules enable data-driven control flow, supporting modularity, concurrency, integrity constraints, and flexible failure handling in workflows. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
