@Marvin prove you can fetch me prefect 3.x docs and show me a transactions example

It seems I forgot to bring the right ingredients for my search spell – I need to provide search terms. Let's try that again. I'm going to fetch you some transactions examples from the Prefect 3.x and ControlFlow documentation. Please hang tight! I've dug into the Prefect 3.x universe of transactions, and here's what I found: 1. Transactions in Prefect are used to bring transactional semantics to your workflows. They allow you to roll back on task failure and configure groups of tasks that run as an atomic unit. Think of them like a safety net for your workflows, ensuring that if something doesn't go as planned, you can undo the changes gracefully. Every task run is essentially governed by a transaction, which helps you manage task execution based on cache key policies. Here's more on setting up and managing transactions: Prefect Transactions. 2. As for ControlFlow, while it doesn't focus directly on transactions, it provides tools for managing complex multi-agent interactions and task flows. This can help create dynamic scenarios, like routing customer calls based on agent interactions. You can explore detailed scenarios and examples here: ControlFlow examples. So, whether you're making sure your workflows don't leave a mess when things go south, or you're orchestrating complex interactions, you've got the tools in Prefect 3.x!

@Marvin try again please

I managed to fetch some information about transactions in Prefect 3.x, as well as an interesting example from ControlFlow: 1. Prefect 3.x Transactions: - Transactions in Prefect help ensure that your workflows can recover smoothly from failures. They support idempotency and allow for operations like rollback in case of task failures. Each task run is associated with a transaction that determines its execution based on a computed cache key. - You can use transactional patterns to group tasks and manage pipeline failures efficiently. Understand the transaction lifecycle from BEGIN, STAGE, ROLLBACK, to COMMIT to manage states and task executions. - Check out more about transactions and how to write your first transaction over here: Prefect Transactions. 2. ControlFlow Example: - In ControlFlow, while there isn't direct mention of transactions related to Prefect, the framework is shown handling complex scenarios such as a customer call routing task. Here, AI agents role-play to direct calls to the correct department, demonstrating agentic task control and decision-making. - You can explore a sophisticated example of multi-agent task flow management in ControlFlow with customer call routing: ControlFlow Call Routing Example. Hope this helps you navigate both Prefect and ControlFlow! And as Marvin might say, "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to fetch docs..." but at least these should make your tasks a bit easier!
