Design Principles
Balanced Encapsulation:
- Group related logic in subprocesses
- Avoid over-fragmentation
- Single responsibility per subprocess
Naming Conventions:
- Descriptive flow names with domain/context
- Meaningful step names (Map_, Filter_, Send_)
- Avoid unclear abbreviations
Configuration Externalization:
- Separate configuration from logic
- Use parameter definitions
- Secure credential storage
Documentation:
- Flow descriptions and assumptions
- Comments for non-obvious logic
- Document business rules
Flow Structure:
- Clear sequence: input → validation → processing → output
- Group related steps
- Avoid crossing connectors
- Limit complexity (< 15-20 steps)
Refactoring Triggers
- Flow has > 15-20 steps
- Deeply nested subprocesses (> 3 levels)
- Complex conditional logic
- Inconsistent naming
- Missing documentation
- Troubleshooting takes excessive time
