It looks very nice. What happens when a flow that takes 1 minute to complete is triggered by three different Slack messages from different users one second apart. Are flow executions queued or executed in parallel? Is it configurable?


thanks! this would actually trigger three separate workflow executions, and the messages would be processed in parallel by each execution. by default, within the workflow all the blocks execute once their dependencies are resolved, and for the workflow itself they are also executed in parallel. if three messages are sent by the same user, it is also executed as separate workflow executions. curious to hear about your usecase though, are you looking to process the messages in batches?


Thanks for replying so quickly and in detail. I wanted to understand issues around scalability and integration into a larger system.

I have been looking for a good solution in this increasingly crowded space and if I could offer a word of unsolicited advice it would be to ensure documentation is top notch, truthful (some competitors mention non-existent features in their docs), and includes a relatively detailed roadmap.

Good luck with Sim Studio. I may try it out in a few weeks!


of course! we will be sure to keep the most up-to-date & accurate documentation and document all of the intricacies like this one, and create a roadmap as well. excited for you to try it out and let us know what you think
