Hi! What is the proper way to kick off a flow run while executing something? e.g. I have someone click a button on a website and I would like to async kick off the flow run on my Dask Environment. Just calling
flow.run()
is running synchronous here, right?

Yeah calling
flow.run
is synchronous. For your use case you would probably want to use an API backend, either core’s server or Cloud, and create a flow run using either the core client or the graphql API https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/concepts/flow_runs.html#creating-a-flow-run
