An event-based trigger starts a pipeline when a defined event occurs instead of relying on an operator to initiate it. This supports predictable continuous-deployment automation by preserving a known event order. section 6.2.2
Apply the pattern with these constraints:
- Treat manually triggering a pipeline inside the pipeline tool as an anti-pattern rather than a normal operating path. section 6.2.2
- Reserve tool-initiated triggering primarily for retries, while allowing defined events to drive normal execution. section 6.2.2
- Protect confidence in deployment automation by keeping expected events in a specific order. section 6.2.2
