Stored Procedures
Stored procedures in other database systems are similar to triggers in that they are blocks of code that execute in response to events in a database.
Flows
Flows are a declarative way to automate business processes. Flows can perform many of the same functions as triggers, such as updating records and sending emails, making them a competitor.
Process Builder
Process Builder is a declarative way to automate business processes. Process Builder can perform many of the same functions as triggers, such as updating records and sending emails, making them a competitor.
Functions
Functions (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) can perform similar backend processing tasks that could alternatively be handled by triggers, especially when integrating with external systems. These functions can be triggered by events similar to how triggers are activated.
User Defined Functions
User Defined Functions can be used to perform some processing similar to triggers in other database contexts.
Workflows
Workflows are a declarative way to automate business processes. Workflows can perform many of the same functions as triggers, such as updating records and sending emails, making them a competitor, though Process Builder is the more modern replacement.
