capabilities of Python, which Prefect supports. To execute subflows concurrently, you can define your subflows as tasks and use Python's asynchronous features to run them in parallel.
Here's a basic example to illustrate this:
python
from prefect import flow, task
import asyncio
@task
async def subflow_task(name):
# Simulate some work
await asyncio.sleep(1)
return f"Subflow {name} completed"
@flow
async def main_flow():
# Define subflows
subflows = [subflow_task(name) for name in ['A', 'B', 'C']]
# Run subflows in parallel
results = await asyncio.gather(*subflows)
print(results)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main_flow()
In this example, asyncio.gather
is used to run subflow_task
instances concurrently. Each subflow is defined as an asynchronous task, allowing them to execute in parallel. This approach leverages Python's asyncio
library, which is well-suited for I/O-bound and high-level structured network code.
You can find more details and examples in the Prefect documentation.
