Flow is powered by Logic apps
1. Built on top of Logic Apps: uses the public APIs and
standard runtime
2. Due to #1:
a) we leverage the same visual designer / editor
b) Logic Apps can always do everything that Flow can do
c) Pro tip: the "advanced" mode for conditions uses the same
language
3. Flow has additional UX / experiences to simplify
experience for typical office worker
