A user signup flow: enter email + password, send verification email, user clicks link, mark account active, redirect to dashboard.

E-commerce checkout with payment retry

Checkout flow: cart review, address entry, payment method selection, charge card, on failure retry up to 3 times then show error, on success show order confirmation.

CI/CD deploy pipeline

A CI/CD pipeline: developer pushes to main, run unit tests, if pass then build docker image, push to registry, deploy to staging, run smoke tests, on success promote to production.

Password reset flow

Password reset: user enters email, backend generates one-time token, email sent, user opens link, enters new password twice, backend validates match and strength, updates password, redirects to login.

When to use this

Flowcharts are the workhorse of process documentation. Reach for them when you need to explain how a system behaves step by step — with decision points, loops, and branching outcomes. They shine for user flows (signup, checkout, password reset), backend pipelines (CI/CD, order fulfillment, background jobs), and incident-response runbooks where an engineer needs to trace "what happens next" at a glance. Compared to a diagram drawn in Figma or draw.io, a Mermaid flowchart lives in plain text — it version-controls with the rest of your codebase, renders inline in GitHub READMEs and Notion pages, and stays in sync with the code because updating it is a one-line edit rather than a click-and-drag exercise. Where flowcharts start to break down: highly parallel systems (use a sequence diagram to show message ordering across actors), or state-heavy objects where you care about legal transitions rather than sequential steps (state diagrams are cleaner). If your "flowchart" has more than about 30 nodes, split it into two — readers get lost past that point.
