hey with prefect 2 server being a standard rest api, would it be possible to run a flow in any language? If that would be possible do you have any pointers on what endpoints I would need to communicate with or would the flow even need to check in with prefect?

Yes this is possible and something we’ve considered in the design. The API manages all orchestration of the flow, so the flow does need to interact with Prefect. The

OrionClient.propose_state

method and the

prefect.engine

module will be helpful for understanding the requests that are made. Basically, the client proposes states and the server returns a response indicating what the client should do. I wouldn’t recommend attempting to write your own implementation in another language yet. Eventually, we’ll document the basic client process that needs to occur to support new implementations.

amazing thanks @Zanie

I believe we'll add that very soon
