@Marvin, how to run prefect flows parallelly at same time ?
m
You can run Prefect flows in parallel using concurrency limits and async functions. Here are two methods: 1. Using Concurrency Limits: You can control the number of parallel processing tasks using the
concurrency
context manager. Here's an example for limiting the number of parallel tasks:
Copy code
import asyncio
   from prefect.concurrency.sync import concurrency

   async def process_data(data):
       print(f"Processing: {data}")
       await asyncio.sleep(1)
       return f"Processed: {data}"

   async def main():
       data_items = list(range(100))
       processed_data = []
       while data_items:
           with concurrency("data-processing", occupy=5):
               chunk = [data_items.pop() for _ in range(5)]
               processed_data += await asyncio.gather(*[process_data(item) for item in chunk])

   asyncio.run(main())
For more details, refer to the documentation on global-concurrency-limits. 2. Using Async Flows: You can create and run asynchronous flows for concurrent execution. Here's a basic example:
Copy code
import asyncio
   from prefect import flow

   async def some_async_function():
       await asyncio.sleep(1)
       return "I'm an async function"

   @flow(log_prints=True)
   async def my_async_workflow():
       print("I can call any python code here, including prefect tasks or flows")
       await some_async_function()

   if __name__ == "__main__":
       asyncio.run(my_async_workflow())
You can find this example here. These methods will help you run Prefect flows in parallel effectively.
