Flow Construction
flow8 provides a robust foundation for managing and running automations efficiently. Automations are constructed in a sequence of steps to ensure a streamlined workflow. The key steps are:
-
Design the Workflow Define the overarching workflow of the automation pipeline. This involves determining the sequence of tasks, dependencies, and triggers necessary for execution.
-
Develop Missing Components and Streamlets Implement any missing custom components or reusable streamlets required in the workflow. These are modular units of work that encapsulate specific actions or logic.
-
Assemble the Flow Configure and assemble the complete flow based on the workflow design, integrating all developed components and streamlets.
-
Run End-to-End (E2E) Test Execute comprehensive E2E tests to validate the correctness and performance of the assembled flow.
-
Observe and Monitor Continuously monitor the automation to ensure smooth execution and identify potential issues.
