event-based
Responds to occurrences
Event-based describes systems or processes that respond to discrete occurrences rather than running continuously or on a schedule.
In computing, event-based programming waits for user actions, messages, or signals before executing code: The app uses an event-based architecture to handle clicks and keystrokes.
The concept extends to billing, scheduling, and workflows triggered by specific happenings rather than time intervals.
