@Marvin Is this possible to launch a flow from a Jupyter notebook?

Yes, it is possible to launch a Prefect flow from a Jupyter notebook. Prefect is designed to orchestrate workflows and is capable of integrating with Jupyter notebooks. You can define Prefect flows as Python code, which allows you to transform Python functions into units of work that can be orchestrated and executed from a notebook. While the provided excerpts did not include a specific example for launching a Prefect flow directly from a Jupyter notebook, the general approach would be to define your flow in the notebook and use the Prefect API to run it. Here's a conceptual outline of the steps you might follow: 1. Install Prefect library (if not already installed):
Copy code
python
!pip install prefect
2. Import Prefect's
Flow
class and other necessary components:
Copy code
python
from prefect import task, Flow
3. Define tasks and flow within your Jupyter notebook:
Copy code
python
@task
def my_task():
    # Your task implementation here
    pass

with Flow("My Flow") as flow:
    # Define the flow structure here
    my_task()
4. Once the flow is defined, you can run it directly within the Jupyter notebook:
Copy code
python
flow.run()
Each of these steps would reside in a separate cell in your Jupyter notebook. This way, you interactively develop and test your workflow before orchestrating it in production using Prefect. For detailed examples or advanced use cases, I would recommend checking the Prefect documentation or community forums for code snippets and user experiences related to Jupyter notebook integrations.
