End-to-End Flows
Use this page when you need to reason about a flow that crosses repos, contracts, and runtime boundaries instead of living inside one product surface.
When to use this page
- You are mapping a trigger through multiple systems.
- You need a concise cross-repo sequence before debugging or optimizing.
- You need to identify human gates and failure points across the full path.
Prerequisites
- You know the trigger or business outcome being traced.
- You can read the relevant concept, integration, and operations pages.
Architecture / Flow
Step-by-step procedure
1. Start with the trigger
Define whether the flow begins with:
- a repo change
- a runtime event
- a user or operator action
- a verification or signoff step
2. Identify the shared truth layer
Most cross-repo flows pass through a Fabric-owned contract, projection, or readiness surface before a downstream consumer acts on them.
3. Identify human gates and owner handoffs
Important questions:
- where does ownership change
- where is approval required
- where is verification repeated
4. Verify the full flow, not just one hop
Combine:
- route readback
- artifact or docs provenance checks
- one representative user-visible result
Verification
This page is being applied correctly when:
- the trigger and final outcome are both explicit
- owner boundaries and review gates are named
- verification covers the flow end-to-end rather than only one component
Common failure modes
Debugging each repo in isolation
Problem:
- the cross-boundary handoff failure stays hidden.
Better path:
- trace the trigger, shared truth layer, consumer, and outcome in order
Treating an end-to-end flow as fully automated when a human gate exists
Problem:
- expectations and postmortems become wrong.
Better path:
- name the exact review boundary in the flow
