Hello everyone. We have a prefect-server instance running in our cluster, and we were wondering what would be the best way to organize the projects? Is it possible to create directory-like structure of the form

{DOMAIN}/{PROJECT_NAME}

(or longer) or similar? For example

iot_devices/site-temperature-management

When you say projects, do you mean the Prefect 1.0 concept of projects or rather how you can structure e.g. a Github repository for flows?

prefect-projects, yes

Btw, Orion will make it much easier - check out this page for more details https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-can-i-organize-my-flows-based-on-my-business-logic-or-team-structure/66

Cool! But is this possible in Prefect 1.0?

No, unfortunately not. Currently, projects don’t allow a nested structure as you described. So you could not have one project called

iot_devices

and a child project of it called

site-temperature-management

. But in Orion you could have nested tags:

>>> @flow
>>> def my_flow():
>>>     with tags("a", "b"):
>>>         with tags("c", "d"):
>>>             my_task()  # has tags: a, b, c, d
>>>         my_task()  # has tags: a, b

Awesome to hear Orion reaching maturity. Really looking forward to see it graduate from beta

So in 1.0 I would probably try to bring more structure in the code organization. E.g. you can still have a project called iot_devices, and you can have e.g. a Github repository for this project and this repository may have directories corresponding to each project

we are already doing that, but the Web UI is getting a bit crowded

Gotcha. Doing something like this would be hard in 1.0 but Orion will definitely make this easier

Perfect, thank you!
