The Workflow Problem That Made Me Stop Trusting Glue Code

1. 1Identify potential workflow problems in your codebase using logging and monitoring tools
2. 2Analyze your glue code for areas where errors can occur and duplicate actions can be triggered
3. 3Implement idempotent design principles to prevent duplicate actions from causing issues
4. 4Use transactional systems to ensure that multiple actions are executed as a single, all-or-nothing unit
5. 5Test your workflows thoroughly to catch any potential errors or edge cases
