Community / Tutorial Patterns

These are ORM/DB-specific. We provide tutorials in the Custom Decorators Guide showing how to build them:

• @Transactional — each ORM has its own transaction API
• @BeforeSave / @AfterCreate — ORM lifecycle hooks
• Query scopes — depends on the query builder
• Custom queue providers — QueueProvider interface for any backend
