Hi all, I'm looking to understand the feature changes that are coming to Prefect 3.0. I have installed the release candidate, however it is unclear to me which features will be new to the open-source product in relation to what's available in the cloud product. For example. How does the "Event-based workflow and automations-engine" as mentioned in the announcement compare to the cloud's "Event Webhooks" and "Event Feed" options in the sidebar of the ui. I see parity between the "Event Webhooks" option. However I do not see parity with the "Event Feed" portion. How will this work in prefect 3.0 oss, or am I misunderstanding how event-based workflow will work.

hi @datamongus! > which features will be new to the open-source product in relation to what's available in the cloud product in short, we've open sourced all the events and automations features from cloud! if you install the rc and run a server, you'll see that the Event Feed and Automations tab from today's cloud are now on the OSS server. That means that you can set up automations, triggers, and check out the Event Feed in OSS > However I do not see parity with the "Event Feed" portion the Event Feed should work the same in OSS as it does in cloud, is there a place where this seems not the case?

Thank you for explaining this. I do see the Automations and Event Feed tab. However I do not see the Event Webhooks. I was following a blog article on the prefect blog that referenced that sidebar menu and setting up webhook templates as apart of setting up event based workflow.
Ultimately what I'm asking is are Event Webhooks apart of 3.0 along with feed and automations ?

hi @datamongus - sorry! i guess i misspoke by saying all features have been ported to OSS, as webhooks are not currently there yet. what’s your use case like?
d
That’s ok I was just wondering if it is going to be ?
n
it is likely that we will support webhooks in OSS at some point, but there's no immediate plan to right now

@Nate I’d like to setup a script executor of sorts, so that my small team can self host prefect oss and trigger py scripts via webhooks, Is there an event trigger I could wrap with an http endpoint? Or any other advice on how I might use events/automations in prefect 3 similarly?
