Did a deployment link dissapear from prefect cloud?

The page exists but is not shown on the left bar. This is very annoying.
To make API calls to submit a job we need to see the deployments. Unless there is another way to submit jobs

Thanks for sharing I read this in detail. See It does not makese sense to me . May be I do not understand this well. I need to define deployments and test them out . Then I need to set my application so that my React/NextJS app can trigger a flowrun via the REST API using the create flow run endpoint like this “https://api.prefect.cloud/api/accounts/${process.env.PREFECT_ACCOUNT_ID}/workspaces/${PREFECT_WORKSPACE_ID}/deployments/${os.env.PREFECT_TRAINING_DEPLOYMENT_ID}/create_flow_run”;
What does it mean when you say flows and deployments screen are merged. Are deployments going away? else where do I see deployments. If deployments are not to be refered what is the alternative to the above create flow run end point

The only change is that the deployments are now visible from the flows page

See they are not. Here is a screen capture

Serina

Do you have deployments associated with those flows?
c

Chandan Maruthi

05/06/2023, 8:11 PM
Yeah, Here is Deployments page that is no longer linked
s

Serina

I can see at the top of the page that it says “12 Flows with 6 Deployments”, so perhaps scrolling down to the Flows below will show the Deployments associated with them

I have not yet runs these flows, and so this UI does not show them

Is there nothing associated with the 
standardWebProcess
, 
trainModel
, and 
ingestStandardCSV
flows on the Flows page?
c

Chandan Maruthi

05/06/2023, 8:12 PM
But to run the flows need to see the deployments
s

Serina

05/06/2023, 8:12 PM
Can you send a screenshot of the flows I mentioned above on the flows page?
They should have deployments associated with them
c

Chandan Maruthi

05/06/2023, 8:13 PM
Not those flows but these have been run before
I guess the scenario missing is. • User creates a flow • Defines a deployment • Has not yet run the flow • So there is no way to see it in this screen
s

Serina

05/06/2023, 8:14 PM
Are you not able to click into the Deployment on the screen?
c

Chandan Maruthi

05/06/2023, 8:14 PM
But the deployment information is required to run the flpw

Serina

05/06/2023, 8:14 PM
What happens when you click on the toggle next to “1 Deployment”?

This approach works when the flow has been run at least once before. But when a new deployment is created for a flow that has not yet run, thats where this gets confusing.

Hm, I wasn’t able to re-create your issue. I deployed a flow that I have never run and I can see both the flow and deployment just fine from the flows page

Here is what is do to build a deployment 
prefect deployment build ./ingestStandardWebsite.py:ingestStandardWebsite \
-n twigdocker-ingestStandardWebsite \
-ib $PREFECT_IB_NAME \
-q $PREFECT_QUEUE_NAME \
-o ingestStandardWebsite-deployment-$PREFECT_ENV_TYPE.yaml \
--skip-upload
And here is what i do to apply it prefect deployment apply 
ingestStandardWebsite-deployment-$PREFECT_ENV_TYPE.yaml
s

Serina

I see you have one deployment associated with your 
ingestStandardWebsite
flow. So it is not called 
twigdocker-ingestStandardWebsite
?
(meaning in the UI, the deployment listed under the 
ingestStandardWebsite
flow)

It is, I see what I am doing wrong, My name is not parameterized, So I am overwriting deployments for dev/staging/prod
Question on best practive, I need to run flows in dev/staging/prod configs the only thing different about each is the docker infra block as it has env variables unique to each env. In this case do I create a single deployment per flow for all 3 env dev/stag/prod and provide the env specific respective Infra Blocks when running in the REST Payload?
the reason I ask this question is the deployment refers to a Infra block and also this endpoint “https://api.prefect.cloud/api/accounts/${process.env.PREFECT_ACCOUNT_ID}/workspaces/${PREFECT_WORKSPACE_ID}/deployments/${os.env.PREFECT_TRAINING_DEPLOYMENT_ID}/create_flow_run” accepts an infra block 
{
      name: "my-flow-run",
      idempotency_key: key,
      infrastructure_document_id: process.env.PREFECT_INFRA_BLOCK_ID,
      state: {
        type: "SCHEDULED",
      },
      parameters: {
        parameters: selectedAIAgent,
      },
    };
which one is actually used?

I haven’t tested it out but my assumption would be it would read from the deployment by default. And I would create an env-specific deployment, yes, but it’s definitely up to personal preference
I’m going to mark this thread as resolved! 🙂

Hi there, interesting to read this. What was the motivation behind this merge? To me it's quite difficult to find the right deployment right now, as I have way more flows defined than deployments. So I have to scroll and click a lot to find the associated deployment that I need

Improvement to UI navigation 🙂 There’s an issue for what you’re describing here; feel free to expand upon or +1 it https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/9468
