What is the best approach to processing something immediately after an object is committed in Mendix?

Utilizing an event handler is the best approach to processing something immediately after an object is committed in Mendix because event handlers are specifically designed for responding to changes in data entities. When an object is committed, the event handler can trigger actions such as validation, notifications, or further data processing instantly.

Event handlers operate in real-time and are integrated into the Mendix platform, which allows for immediate execution after a commit operation. This ensures that the related logic or processes can kick off without any delay, maintaining data integrity and ensuring that business rules are enforced right after data changes.

In contrast, synchronous microflows execute in the same transaction context as the commit, which may not be optimal for immediate processing if there are multiple commit operations occurring. Scheduled events, on the other hand, operate on a time basis rather than immediately after a commit, making them unsuitable for real-time data processing needs. Asynchronous processes introduce delays in processing, as they operate separately from the main execution flow, which can lead to timing issues in scenarios that require immediate response to data changes.
