A developer creates an Apex trigger that updates related Contact records whenever an Account record is updated. The trigger performs a DML operation on the Contacts. During testing, updating an Account causes the trigger to fire infinitely and throw a System.LimitException: Maximum trigger depth exceeded. Which design pattern should the developer implement to prevent this recursion?

Accepted Answer

Use a static boolean flag in a helper class to ensure the trigger block executes only once per transaction.. Using a static boolean flag in a helper class is the standard Salesforce pattern to prevent recursive trigger execution by tracking whether the trigger logic has already run in the current transaction.

Answer

Use a Database.setSavepoint() before the DML operation to rollback if recursion occurs.

Answer

Convert the trigger logic into a Queueable Apex job to defer execution to a separate transaction.

Answer

Check Trigger.isExecuting to determine if the trigger is running in a recursive context.
