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
