1. A computing system for execution of an event-triggered computing function comprising: one or more processors; and one or more memories having stored therein instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the computing system perform operations comprising: receiving instructions for executing the event-triggered computing function defined at least in part by a plurality of nodes, the instructions generated based, at least in part, on a representation of the event-triggered computing function displayed in a graphical user interface, the representation comprising graphical indications of the plurality of nodes and inputs and outputs of the plurality of nodes, wherein the representation comprises a start node and an end node, and wherein the end node indicates either a success or a failure; detecting a triggering event that triggers execution of the event-triggered computing function; and executing the instructions using a plurality of execution stages, wherein at least one execution stage comprises activating one or more nodes associated with the execution stage and, for at least one active node that provides output to one or more other nodes: activating one or input ports on the one or more other nodes; sending one or more outputs to the one or more other nodes based, at least in part, on functionality associated with the active node; and confirming that the one or more other nodes are added to a list of one or more nodes for activation in a subsequent execution stage.
