Flow is an Elixir library for expressing parallel computations on collections, built on top of GenStage. It provides an Enum/Stream-like API where map, filter, and reduce operations run concurrently across multiple processes.

Use cases

• count word frequencies in a large file in parallel
• process large collections with map/reduce across multiple CPU cores
• build concurrent data processing pipelines in Elixir
• parallelize ETL-style transformations of enumerable data
• run stateful reductions partitioned across GenStage workers

When to choose

• you need Enum/Stream-style computations parallelized in Elixir
• your workload fits in memory or streams from a source and benefits from multi-core processing
• you want backpressure-aware pipelines via GenStage

When to avoid

• you need distributed processing across a cluster like Spark or Flink
• your data volume requires disk-based shuffling or fault-tolerant batch jobs
• you are not on the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem
