Execution
The algorithm for executing graphs is actually very simple. Apibot first picks the starting node (which is the only node in the graph without predecessors), invokes the node’s function and then concurrently repeats this procedure for every successor of the current node.
In the image above, the first node is executed first, followed by second and finally third.
If a node has more than one predecessor, then the node will wait until all predecessors have been executed. In the image above, the two third nodes will be executed concurrently (although not necessarily in parallel). When both third nodes are executed then the fourth will follow.
