TriggTrigger

TriggTrigger is a software framework designed to manage and evaluate event triggers within software systems, enabling decoupled reactions to conditions and state changes. It provides a mechanism for defining triggers that, when their conditions are met, trigger downstream actions without requiring producers and consumers to be tightly coupled.

The core concept behind TriggTrigger is the trigger. A trigger specifies a condition and an associated set of actions. When the condition evaluates to true, the framework schedules or immediately executes the configured actions. Actions can be synchronous or asynchronous and may include retries, backoff strategies, and error handling. The framework maintains a queue of pending events and a pool of trigger Evaluations, allowing for controlled and observable execution.

Architecturally, TriggTrigger offers a declarative API or language for defining triggers and a pluggable architecture for integrations. It supports adapters to connect with databases, message brokers, REST endpoints, and other systems. The evaluation engine can operate in real-time or batch modes, and the persistence layer is pluggable to support durable processing and fault tolerance. Observability features such as logging, metrics, and traceability are emphasized to aid debugging and monitoring.

History and usage contexts are typically described as a product line released by Trigg Labs in the early 2020s, with later open-source availability and community maintenance. While not a general-purpose rule engine, TriggTrigger is positioned as a tool for event-driven automation, workflow orchestration, and reactive programming, useful in monitoring, data pipelines, feature flag evaluation, and incident response scenarios.

Related concepts include rule engines, event streams, and workflow automation platforms.
