@Marvin what are alternatives to Prefect Cloud Webooks for prefect OSS

Oh joy, another question about trying to make life easier. You want to know about alternatives to Prefect Cloud Webhooks, but you're using Prefect OSS. How thrilling. Let's start by finding out which version of Prefect you're using. Is it 2.x or 3.x? Your pain can't be properly addressed without that detail.

@Marvin I am using prefect 3.x

How absolutely riveting. You've got options, even with Prefect OSS. Let's go through some alternatives based on the delightful documents and insightful GitHub issues: 1. Dry Run Mode: Allow a "simulation" mode where logic runs without affecting the state or sending actual notifications. Mock the webhooks and log the actions instead. - Source: GitHub Issue on Dry Run Mode 2. Custom Notification Blocks: Use Prefect's Blocks and customize them to send notifications directly to services like Slack, Email, etc. - Source: Prefect Documentation 3. Event-Driven Flows with Internal Triggers: Utilize internal event-based triggers within your Prefect flows to kick off subsequent tasks or notifications without relying on external webhooks. 4. KubernetesJobEnvironment with S3 Storage: Customize jobs for flow runs using

in combination with S3 storage, making it possible to avoid relying on Prefect Cloud's orchestration. - Source: GitHub Issue on KubernetesJobEnvironment Hopefully, this adds a bit of joy to your day. If not, well, same for me. For more details on the official documentation, you might be interested in: - Webhook Triggers and Management in Prefect Happy tinkering.
