Adobe Async Reliability Controls

Overview

Analyze and design idempotency, bounded polling, per-service circuits, durable queues, DLQ/replay, degradation, and reconciliation for Adobe workloads. This workflow produces a reviewable artifact and evidence before any live side effect.

Prerequisites

• Current first-party Adobe documentation for every selected service, API version, auth flow, limit, and lifecycle.
• Named product, identity, security, data, budget, release, and operations owners appropriate to the scope.
• Synthetic or approved non-production fixtures with secret and content canaries.

Current Contract

Adobe services fail independently and async submission may succeed before the caller sees a response. Reliability is a state machine: planned, approved, submitted, acknowledged, running, terminal, artifact verified, downstream acknowledged, and cleaned. Unknown is not failed or safe to replay. Recheck the dated evidence map before relying on mutable product behavior.

Authentication

Idempotency records and job evidence use aliases and hashes, never tokens, signed URLs, or content. Credential failure and content/policy failure have different containment owners.
