Hi!
I understand that Services are being deprecated and is no longer actively receiving updates - but its replacement, Flows, seems to have some major limitations and I wonder if there are anything on the roadmap to address this?
**Flows lack a proper DevTools / debugging interface compared to Services**
When we evaluated using Flows as an alternative to Services for API integrations, we quickly ran into a major limitation: Flows do not have an equivalent to the DevTools for Services. Specifically, what we miss in Flows is:
- The ability to capture the next incoming API request (Next Request / Traced Request capture modes)
- Real-time inspection of what is being sent in and out of each action node during a live execution
- Breakpoints at the action node level during an actual triggered execution
Without these tools, debugging integrations in Flows is significantly harder than in Services.

Hi Michael!
All the above tools and functionality are on the roadmap, I do not have an exact date on when these can be expected, but the devs team are continuously working on it! Flows will be able to do everything Services can do today - and much more.
