Great systems enforce standards without punishing innovation. I use Custom Metadata to define and enforce those standards across the org.
Examples from real projects:
Controlling which Record Types can trigger which Flows
Defining available options for dynamic automation menus
Centralizing logic that multiple Apex classes reference
This approach turns business logic into configuration, not code. It reduces deployment risk and empowers non-devs to manage process logic without touching Flow Builder.
It’s not about locking people out—it’s about giving teams safe, predictable lanes to drive in.
