What is flow architecture?

Flow architecture, also known as flow-based architecture, is a software design pattern that focuses on the flow of data through a system. It aims to enhance reusability, maintainability, and scalability by separating the application into small, independent components called nodes. These nodes represent specific functionality and communicate with each other through the passing of data packets, forming a directed graph structure. This approach allows for effective management of complex systems, as it emphasizes the control and understanding of data flow rather than the state of the system. By using flow architecture, developers can create modular and flexible systems that are easier to understand, debug, and update.
