Which workflow method is recommended for high-performance scenarios in Adobe Experience Manager Sites?

In high-performance scenarios within Adobe Experience Manager Sites, the recommended workflow method is the On Modification trigger. This method is well-suited for environments where rapid updates are crucial, as it allows workflows to initiate automatically when content is modified.

By using the On Modification trigger, the system efficiently responds to changes in content without requiring manual inputs or extensive waiting periods. This can significantly enhance performance by streamlining the content approval and publishing processes. In dynamic environments where content is frequently updated or revised, leveraging this workflow ensures that the latest changes are promptly handled and reflected in the user experience.

Other triggers, while useful in specific situations, may not provide the same level of responsiveness required for high-performance scenarios. Immediate triggers involve starting the workflow without any waiting, which can lead to excess load if too many modifications are made at once. Similarly, scheduled triggers are beneficial for timing-based workflows but may introduce latency that isn’t suitable for high-frequency content changes. Lastly, the On Edit trigger activates workflows based on user edits but does not capture modifications that happen outside of those edits as comprehensively as the On Modification trigger, making it less optimal for a high-performance context.
