Flow Features And Config Toggles

Breyta feature matrix for authoring and operating advanced flows.

Goal

Provide one checklist of core flow fields, step capabilities, and operational toggles.

Quick Answer

Use this page to verify that your flow covers triggers, templates, waits, notifications, persistence, and bindings with canonical config shapes.
As complexity grows, keep :flow orchestration-focused and move shaping/body content into top-level :functions and :templates.
Treat :persist as a common default for data-heavy steps, not a niche option.

Step Capabilities And Toggles

Orchestration Primitives (Non-Step)

Use flow/call-flow when one branch grows into a separate lifecycle (for example: ingress flow -> routing flow -> apply flow). Keep parent flow responsible for orchestration and move shaping into top-level :functions.

'(let [input (flow/input)
       normalized (flow/step :function :normalize {:ref :normalize :input input})
       routed (flow/call-flow :billing-route (:route-input normalized))
       result ^{:label "Apply routed action?"
                :yes "Call apply flow"
                :no "Skip apply"}
              (if (:should-apply routed)
                (flow/call-flow :billing-apply (:apply-input routed))
                {:skipped true})]
   {:routed routed
    :result result})

See construct metadata and polling details:

• Orchestration Constructs
• flow/poll

Loop pattern for bounded item processing with explicit persistence:

'(let [input (flow/input)
       items (:items input)
       batch (reduce (fn [acc item]
                       (let [item-result (flow/step :http :process-item
                                           {:connection :api
                                            :method :post
                                            :path "/process"
                                            :json {:id (:id item)}
                                            :persist {:type :blob}})]
                         (conj acc item-result)))
                     []
                     items)
       summary (flow/step :function :summarize
                 {:ref :summarize
                  :input batch})]
   summary)
