Hi all! Hoping to start a conversation about naming flows vs. naming deployments. Does anyone have a standard they employ to associate flows -> deployments? Or simply a datetime standard to create unique flow names? Looking to decide if I should focus on getting a custom "flow naming scheme" when I am mainly focused on running deployments.

I just simplified on using the same name for both… not sure I’m happy with my decision, but makes it “easy” to

run_deployments

using the name of the flow and deployment like so…

Copy code

run_deployment(
        name="logs-for-date-range/logs_for_date_range",
        parameters={"org_id": <http://org.pk|org.pk>, "start": start_date, "end": end_date},
        timeout=0,
    )

Interestingly at the moment that particular line is not working for me because it is not using my environment set

PRFECT_API_URL

variable.

Again, I’m not sold on my naming choice, but it works and when I’m writing admin functions to be able to initialize a deployment through our application interface… I have the flows inline with the application code. So even the above names come from the name of the function that is the entry point flow.

Thanks for your input and thoughts! I'll definitely keep it in mind
