Which gateway node would you use if you wanted the process to be split into multiple paths, regardless of logic?

The use of a complex gateway is appropriate for scenarios where a process needs to diverge into multiple paths without any specific conditions affecting the split. This type of gateway allows for multiple outgoing paths simultaneously, making it ideal for instances where all paths need to be activated regardless of any logical conditions.

In contrast, the other options function differently. An exclusive gateway allows a process to follow only one of its paths based on specific conditions, which means it’s not suitable for situations where you want multiple paths to be taken. A parallel gateway, while it does allow for multiple paths to execute simultaneously, is typically employed when all outgoing paths should be executed in parallel, focusing on synchronization and the concurrent nature of those paths. The event gateway, on the other hand, is more about responding to specific events rather than simply splitting into multiple paths.

By understanding that the complex gateway enables a split without predefined conditions, you can effectively utilize it for processes that require flexibility and the activation of multiple paths at once.
