At the risk of spamming... I also find the whole "smart async/sync" functionality quite frustrating. Take this example:

bucket = S3Bucket.load("bucket-name")

The type of

bucket

here is

S3Bucket | Coroutine[Any, Any, S3Bucket]

. Because of that, any downstream function that uses

bucket

is going to take issue with its type. I'm clearly using it in a synchronous context here (the parent flow is synchronous), so how can I call this in a way that clearly indicates that I want a synchronous response and a narrow type? With the way things are now, I'm littering

cast()

all over the place, and it's pretty gross. But maybe I'm just going about this wrong.

Relevant: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/15008

Interesting. I see a lot of merged commits referencing this talking about prefect_aws.s3 migrating off sync_compatible. Does this mean I can soon expect to use

S3Bucket.load()

and get a fully synchronous return type, because there will be an

S3Bucket.aload()

equivalent?

Yep!
