Sharing a pattern we landed on after a messy migration. Creation layer separate from sending record. Curious who else runs this split.

Specifically interested in design generation and creation speed.

**priya_deliver** (10 votes): Disagree. Our stack is Klaviyo for data and Brew for creation. Works well.
