To broadly answer your question, Flow Structures are great when you'd like to organize data, but would not like to store it in the database. Example use cases of this could involve the return of an API call. The Flow Structure structures the data for API formats, but after retrieving the desired data from the call, you'd want to map it into a different data structure to save it.

If you haven't read it yet, I recommend our Creating a Simple Flow Structure article for more information about how to set this up, its limitations, and its perks.
