While the learning curve is high if you're not experienced in this, the application of this tool is great for teams that need to manage and handle data flowing between APIs but don't have the engineering expertise to do so.

Regarding data flow, there are many out of the box solutions available through their marketplace but it's easy to build your own as well through their fill-in-the-blank language template called DataWeave.
