End-to-end flow showing how a task is created, indexed, and team members are notified

Task Creation Flow

This flow documents the complete process of creating a new task in TaskFlow, from user initiation to final indexing and notifications.

Flow Overview

When a user creates a task, multiple backend systems are coordinated to ensure the task is properly stored, indexed, and all relevant team members are notified.

Key Steps

  1. User Input: User fills out task creation form
  2. Command Processing: CreateTaskCommand is validated and processed
  3. Task Storage: Task is persisted in the database
  4. Event Publication: TaskCreated event notifies downstream systems
  5. Search Indexing: Task is indexed for full-text search
  6. Activity Logging: Action is recorded in activity log
  7. Notifications: Team members are notified based on preferences

Success Criteria

  • Task is searchable within 2 seconds
  • Activity is logged
  • Relevant team members receive notifications

Performance Requirements

  • End-to-End Time: < 3 seconds (p95)
