What is Flow?

​

​Flow

Flow is a cloud-native, event-driven, hyper-scalable workflow module. This web-based automation solution provides an overview of the workflows configured in your solution. (Describe better)

The purge feature streamlines your workflow by automating the deletion of assets, saving you valuable time. It also enhances efficiency by helping you maintain a well-organized system, eliminating assets that are unnecessary or unlikely to be used.

You can use the purging feature, for example, to delete assets you don't need, helping to maintain a well-organized and efficient system.

Each flow consists of multiple nodes that are connected together to perform a provided task. There are different types of nodes:

• Input nodes are responsible for getting the assets or information required to finish the job. An example subtype of an Input node would be a node that gets assets from SaaS Core Pool.

• Trigger nodes - these nodes will trigger the start of a flow. An example subtype of a Trigger node would be a Scheduler node that gets triggered with the provided frequency.

• Action nodes - contain an action/job that the flow should perform. An example subtype of an Action node would be Delete node which should remove an asset.

• Output nodes - can output assets or information or asset somewhere. An example subtype of an Output node would be a node that saves asset back to SaaS Core Pool after processing is finished.

Nodes can be connected in different configurations, but the application should always validate if all logical requirements are met to perform a given task.
