Sequential Execution

Definitions

1. A mode of execution in which instructions or tasks run one after another in a defined order, where each step must complete before the next begins — the default model for most imperative code and the opposite of concurrent or parallel execution.

   In plain English: Running tasks one at a time, each finishing before the next one starts.

   Example: "The migration steps must run in sequential execution — if step 3 runs before step 2 finishes, the foreign key constraint will fail."
