Architect Academy Roundtables

Salesforce.org Architect Roundtables: Community-led discussions that empower Salesforce Architects who serve NGO, Higher Ed, and K-12 customers.

I continue to hear Flow is the future so I am starting to consider using Flow over Process Builder for automation needs. With Process Builder there was a best practice for one Process Builder per object.

Wondering if Flow should have the same best practice? With the Sub Flow functionality, I could see a master Flow per object with set of decisions to launch various Subflows working, similar to nodes in a Process Builder would work.

Anyone put any thought into Flow structure yet?
