Never Manage More than One Flow per Process Manager

Each process manager is responsible for a single, isolated process. Its internal state represents that of an instance of that managed flow (for example, “Order 421,” “Batch 73,” or “New User Provisioning for User ABC”). As tempting as it may be to create a process manager for “orders” or “users,” never lump multiple process flows into a single manager. Doing so generally means the failure of one flow can cascade out throughout the system. Keeping flows separate also avoids accidentally corrupting one process state with that of another.
