@Marvin Should I leave my flow names random? Or should I name them to mimic the structure of my deployments? If I am planning to use deployments as the primary source of scheduling and observation, why should I name flows?

To summarize the findings: 1. Document Links: - Deployments and flows: Flows and Deployments - Importance of flow naming: Flow Concepts 2. Key Points: - Flow and Deployment Relationship: Each deployment is associated with a single flow, but a flow can be referenced by multiple deployments. This relationship is represented as

flow_name/deployment_name

. Naming your flows can help in distinguishing these relationships more clearly, especially if you have multiple deployments. - Flow Run Naming: Prefect allows you to dynamically generate flow run names, which could be useful for logging and monitoring. For example, you can personalize the flow run names using current dates or other parameters, which might aid in tracking the execution context. 3. When to Name Flows: - Clarity: Explicitly naming your flows can help in visualizing and managing the various flow-deployment pairs you have. A consistent naming convention might enhance this clarity. - Debugging and Monitoring: Easy identification of flows during debugging or manual inspection. Given that deployments will be your primary source of scheduling and running flows, naming flows can still provide considerable organizational and operational benefits. However, if your setup is relatively simple, keeping the default names might not impact your workflow significantly. The decision largely depends on the complexity of your deployment strategy and the degree of clarity you desire when managing multiple flows and deployments.
