To prevent governor limit violations in Salesforce Flows, apply bulkification patterns by keeping SOQL and DML operations outside loops, using collection-based updates, and retrieving fields selectively to manage heap size.

The best way to migrate Process Builder to a record-triggered flow is to redesign the logic for bulk updates, configure proper fault paths using fault connectors, and validate behavior with Apex test coverage for 200-record bulk scenarios.

Deciding between before-save and after-save in Salesforce record-triggered flows depends on whether you need to update the triggering record itself using before-save for efficiency, or perform post-save actions like creating related records using after-save logic.

You add error handling to Salesforce Flows by configuring fault connectors on elements to route execution to a fault path, enabling orchestration patterns to manage failures gracefully and ensure your automation remains fault-tolerant.

You write Apex test coverage for Salesforce record-triggered flows by creating test classes that validate bulk behavior, inserting up to 200 records in a single transaction to verify SOQL and DML bulkification and ensure runtime reliability.

You should choose Apex instead of Flow for Salesforce automation when requirements exceed Flow orchestration patterns, require complex fault-tolerant handling, or need advanced SOQL and DML bulkification that cannot be achieved through declarative flow design.
