Hi Everyone,
I’m working on a scenario where an Opportunity trigger updates the related Account
, and an Account trigger in turn performs some additional updates.
What would be the best approach to prevent trigger recursion
while keeping the solution bulkified and scalable? Would a static variable-based approach be sufficient, or is there a better Trigger Handler pattern for managing this?
Looking forward to your recommendations and real-time implementation approaches.
Thanks!

Best practice is a Trigger Handler pattern with controlled recursion, rather than relying only on a static Boolean.
- Keep triggers thin and move logic into handler/service classes.
- Use a static Set<Id> to track records already processed in the current transaction.
- Keep all logic bulkified—use collections and avoid SOQL/DML inside loops.
- Add clear entry conditions so updates only happen when relevant fields actually change.
A static Boolean can work for simple cases, but a
Set<Id> + Handler patternis more scalable for complex automation.
