Hey Prefect Community! For those of you using
LOOP
signals in your Flows, would you be up to sharing what you use them for? We’re considering a change to the behavior and we’re interested in your thoughts /thread

Our original stated use case for creating
LOOP
signals was for web crawling

I plan to use
LOOP
signals to split my database extract task into batches. As of now, there is one extract task per table, which fetches the relevant table content in batches. There is a feeble amount of error handling inside the task, which I would be happy to delegate to prefect via
LOOP
signals. I have a couple ideas on how to achieve this, but haven’t got my hands on it yet.

My plan is to use a loop signal to check the result of some convergence condition. I'm still not entirely sure that's an intended use, but it sounds like it should fit to me.
