hi all, Does prefect have integration with talend? thanks.

Hey @AJ, it appears we don’t at this time. We often have people moving from talend. I’ll talk to our team members that handle talend and ask if something is in progress
There are no plans for a talend integration

@AJ I have utilized shelltask to call my talend jobs from Prefect (I mainly wanted to use Prefect as the orchestration piece here)
So I can use Prefect to pass through my parameters into Talend as context variables, schedules can be setup easily with whatever parameters necessary, etc.
Right now I am manually building my shell script call with context vars based on the params from prefect, i'll very soon figure out a way to do that programmatically to reduce code redundancy that I have right now.
I do not have Talend interacting with Prefect in any deep way right now, though if I could figure out a way to allow talend job outputs to be read into prefect as a results tuple, that would be amazing. There would need to be some translation from java data types to python though, and I have no idea how that works right this second.
