public class Flow
extends Item<Flow.Type>

This entity represents a data flow. It is a high-level representation that encapsulates the interconnected elements of a data pipeline: Origin, Action, Destination, Topic, and Queue, defining the logical movement, transformation, and organization of data from source to destination. This entity does not play an active role in the data processing, it is mainly used to render data flows visually.
