Hi @shvz

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :raised_hands:

If it works, it is the right approach! :stuck_out_tongue:

But in general, the more you can modularize your workflows in order to decrease memory consumption, the better. We also have a pretty handy documentation on best-practices in workflow building here:

Feel free to also check out our workflow templates collection, where you can browse other use cases and workflow ideas.

Happy Building! :blush:
