So an estate with forty small integrations may cost less than one with three that are called constantly — which is the opposite of how people estimate. WHAT MAKES A DESIGN CHATTY, in order of how often it is the cause. POLLING. A flow that asks "anything new?" every five minutes makes hundreds of calls a day, almost all of which return nothing. An event-driven equivalent makes one call when something actually happened. PER-RECORD PROCESSING where a batch would do — a loop calling an endpoint once per row is a message per row.
