Prefect Community

Hey, I was wondering what kind of solutions people have found to event-driven flow execution. I saw a there was a PIN for the issue but I wanted to know how people have been solving this issue without built in functionality (or if there is some functionality ive overlooked)

Hey <@U023LCPST2L>, so it’s a matter of using the API to start a flow run. Here is an example blog: <https://medium.com/the-prefect-blog/event-driven-workflows-with-aws-lambda-2ef9d8cc8f1a>

So you would connect this to let’ s say Lambda. Lambda would listen for events and then trigger the Prefect flow when it detects one.

Would i have access to that even if I used the core server as opposed to the prefect cloud?

Yes you would. The API would be you server API

I assumed that would be the case but figured id double check

By the way, in case you don’t know, Cloud gives 10,000 free task runs every month which is a lot to get started with and a lot easier than server
