Action-Based Persistence
Action-Based Persistence is a software design pattern that ties data persistence operations directly to business actions or events in an application. It ensures that changes to the data layer are triggered by specific user or system actions, rather than arbitrary updates, promoting consistency and traceability. This approach is often implemented in event-driven architectures or domain-driven design to maintain data integrity and support audit trails.
Developers should use Action-Based Persistence when building systems that require strict auditability, such as financial applications, healthcare records, or compliance-driven software, where every data change must be linked to a specific action for regulatory purposes. It is also valuable in microservices or event-sourced architectures to ensure data consistency across distributed systems by persisting events as actions that can be replayed or analyzed.
