or suspend_flow_run
. These functions allow you to pause or suspend entire flow runs, although the use of asyncio.Event
isn't explicitly documented for this purpose. Here's a link with more details: Prefect Documentation on Pause/Resume.
On the ControlFlow side, managing task dependencies and asynchronous tasks is relatively more straightforward. You can establish task dependencies using the depends_on
parameter, which ensures that one task waits for another to complete before it starts. Additionally, ControlFlow allows you to define complex task hierarchies and dependencies automatically, enabling seamless orchestration of tasks. You can check more details here: ControlFlow Patterns for Running Tasks and ControlFlow Dependencies.
While asyncio is a Python-native way to handle concurrency, combining Prefect's orchestration capabilities and ControlFlow's task dependency management might save you some headaches. After all, there's no need to recreate the wheel when there's a perfectly good car already built!
