Reporter context: Is your feature request related to a problem? Dagu currently provides scheduled DAG execution and webhook-based triggering, but there is no generic mechanism to trigger a DAG only when an external event occurs. A common use case is processing files delivered to remote systems such as SFTP. For example, I have around…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
Interview five affected users
- When did you last need this?
- What outcome were you trying to reach?
- What did you use instead?
- How often does this occur?
- What commitment would prove it matters?
Run the smallest experiment
Deliver the outcome manually or with a narrow prototype before building a reusable feature.
A user completes the real workflow and commits time, data, distribution or budget to repeat it.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
