Core Concepts: Building Blocks of Motia

Motia workflows are built using a few core concepts that work together harmoniously:

Concept	Description
Steps	Self-contained, reusable units of business logic. Steps subscribe to events, process data, and emit events.
Flows	Logical groupings of related steps that together accomplish a specific task or process.
Events	Messages that are emitted by steps and trigger other steps that subscribe to them.
Topics	Named channels or categories for events, enabling event routing and decoupling between steps.
