Hello I have high level design question It is advisable to share the flow code between two deployments of the same flow details in thread

David Cupp · Answer

It looks like I could do this with the Python API ```storage block = S3 load myfirstblock deploymentA = Deployment flow name= FooFlow name= FooA parameters= arg A entrypoint= foo py foo storage=storage block path= foo code deploymentA apply deploymentA upload to storage deployment = Deployment flow name= FooFlow name= FooB parameters= arg B entrypoint= foo py foo storage=storage block path= foo code deploymentB apply ```

Do you mean to ask if it is desirable to have two deployments for the same flow

David Cupp · Answer

I am storing code in s3 for now I am going to have for example 100 200 deployments per flow each with different arguments so I would like to avoid making a separate upload for each deployment Is re using code like this one of the intended ways Deployments are used or am I doing off the rails

gt it is desirable to have two deployments for the same flow I m asking specifically about whether its acceptable to have two deployments share the exact same chunk of flow code stored in S3

David Cupp · Answer

From the docs it seems like that having multiple deployments per Flow registration is by design

Khuyen Tran · Answer

Yes deployment allows you to run a single flow with different parameters as explained <https docs prefect io concepts deployments deployments and flows|here>

David Cupp · Answer

Thanks I read that That is not what I m asking

Khuyen Tran · Answer

However you can create one deployment then override the default parameter with a custom parameter when running that deployment

David Cupp · Answer

I would like to have two deployments for the same flow each with separate sets of default args that may be overridden but only upload the code to s3 once

Khuyen Tran · Answer

You can skip uploading when building a deployment using the command ` skip upload`
