Processing service requests for non-transactional databases

A system, comprising:

• a document management system comprising:
• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• an application service configured to:
• receive a request associated with a document of the document management system, the request associated with a plurality of actions that are executed;
• cause an execution of a first action of the plurality of actions to be initiated synchronously with receipt of the request, the first action being an update to a database of the document management system;
• transmit an indication of successful execution of the request as a result of the execution of the first action and despite awaiting completion of one or more remaining actions of the plurality of actions;
• and
• queue the one or more remaining actions of the plurality of actions;
• and
• an asynchronous service configured to:
• retrieve and cause the one or more remaining actions to be executed, the one or more remaining actions being capable of asynchronous execution and, when successfully executed together with the first action, resulting in consistency of the document management system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having collectively stored thereon executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• initiate synchronous execution of a first operation based at least in part on a received request, the received request pertaining to a document of a document management system that comprises the computer system;
• provision one or more workflows for asynchronous execution based at least in part on the received request and the initiated execution of the first operation, the one or more workflows causing the performance of a set of actions satisfying a consistency requirement of the document management system;
• and
• send an indication of satisfaction of the request on a condition that the first operation is successfully completed and despite the one or more workflows awaiting successful completion.
