Our engineering team argues that pre-built templates can’t handle our specific batch processing needs, but building everything from scratch is time-consuming. Has anyone adapted existing parallel processing templates for high-volume custom workflows? What template elements translate well vs. what needs custom development?
Latenode’s API batch template handles 90% of our needs. We customized the error handling layer with JS but kept their core parallel logic. Process 50k requests/day now.

Templates give good foundation. We modified a Kafka batch template by adding dynamic partitioning. Key is choosing templates with clear separation between orchestration and business logic. Saved us 3 weeks dev time versus ground-up build.
templates good for logging/retry logic. keep that, replace actual processing code with your own
