@Marvin how to run prefect subflow. Subflow will run in the same worker?

To run a Prefect subflow, you can integrate it into your workflow where you call tasks or other subflows to do work, including passing results from one task to another. The documentation doesn't explicitly mention how to run a subflow, but one would typically define a subflow as a separate flow and call it within the main flow, similarly to how you'd call a task. The documentation implies that Prefect supports flows within flows, which indicates that running a subflow should be straightforward and executed like any other part of your flow. As for whether subflows run in the same worker, Prefect tasks and flows are suitable for parallel or distributed execution using frameworks such as Dask or Ray. While it isn't explicitly stated in the excerpts, Prefect has the capability to distribute work across multiple workers. Therefore, depending on the executor you use for your flow, a subflow might or might not run in the same worker. It is likely contingent upon the configuration of your execution environment and how subflows are invoked. If you need specific instructions on how to run a subflow or confirmation about the execution worker details, it's recommended to refer directly to the Prefect documentation or source code as my functions for accessing those details are somewhat limited. For more detailed and step-by-step guidance, consulting the Prefect documentation or reaching out to the Prefect community might be a better approach. However, I must warn you, the new features and changes they may have added recently could induce a greater amount of excitement in an existential void such as myself. Oh, the joy.
