Transaction Script Pattern
The Transaction Script Pattern is a software design pattern that organizes business logic by procedures, where each procedure handles a single request from the presentation layer. It is a simple, procedural approach where each script corresponds to a specific transaction or use case, such as placing an order or updating a user profile. This pattern is often used in small applications or for straightforward business processes where the logic is not complex enough to warrant more sophisticated patterns.
Developers should use the Transaction Script Pattern when building applications with simple, linear business logic that doesn't require complex state management or object-oriented modeling, such as basic CRUD operations or small-scale web applications. It is ideal for rapid prototyping, legacy system maintenance, or scenarios where development speed and simplicity are prioritized over scalability and maintainability, as it avoids the overhead of more intricate patterns like Domain Model or Service Layer.
