See who owns every step of a flow

· 8 min read

A flow tells the story of a business process. A shopper checks out, the cart is priced, payment is authorized, the order is created, and the customer gets a confirmation.

Flows in EventCatalog have always been good at showing the steps. But once a team has the steps, the next questions are almost always about ownership:

  • Which teams are involved in this process?
  • Where does it cross from one domain into another?
  • Which systems have to work together for this to succeed?

Those questions matter because every boundary in a flow is a handoff. It's a contract between two teams, a dependency someone has to coordinate, and usually the place where things break. Until now, you had to work that out by clicking through each step.

In EventCatalog v5, you can group any flow by domain, system or team. You see the boundaries straight away, and you don't need to change a single line of your flows.

Describe the workflow, let the agent build the flow

Flows are one of the most popular resources documented in EventCatalog. They let you document end-to-end business workflows in your architecture, giving you and your team the bigger picture of how everything connects together.
