Apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for triggering application component workflows based on a distributed ledger

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• detecting, based at least on monitoring a workflow event stream, a candidate transaction associated with a defined workflow event for an application component;
• generating a candidate transaction data structure for the candidate transaction in accordance with one or more candidate transaction attributes of the candidate transaction;
• causing execution of a smart contract of a distributed ledger to add the candidate transaction data structure to the distributed ledger in accordance with a distributed ledger consensus protocol based on a comparison between the one or more candidate transaction attributes and smart contract rules for the smart contract, wherein adding the candidate transaction data structure to the distributed ledger renders at least the defined workflow event within the workflow immutable;
• and
• triggering a workflow for the application component based on the candidate transaction data structure being added to the distributed ledger.

A computer program product, stored on a computer readable medium, comprising instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to:

• detect, based at least on monitoring a workflow event stream, a candidate transaction associated with a defined workflow event for an application component;
• generate a candidate transaction data structure for the candidate transaction in accordance with one or more candidate transaction attributes of the candidate transaction;
• cause execution of a smart contract of a distributed ledger to add the candidate transaction data structure to the distributed ledger in accordance with a distributed ledger consensus protocol based on a comparison between the one or more candidate transaction attributes and smart contract rules for the smart contract, wherein adding the candidate transaction data structure to the distributed ledger renders at least the defined workflow event within the workflow immutable;
• and
• trigger a workflow for the application component based on the candidate transaction data structure being added to the distributed ledger.
