### Prefect 3.x
There are two main approaches in Prefect 3.x:
1. Running an existing deployment:
python
from prefect import run_deployment
# Run by name
flow_run = await run_deployment(
name="my-flow/my-deployment",
parameters={"param1": "value1"}
)
# Or run by deployment ID
flow_run = await run_deployment(
deployment_id="deployment-id-here",
parameters={"param1": "value1"}
)
2. Serving deployments (new in 3.x):
python
from prefect import flow, serve
@flow
def my_flow(param1: str = "default"):
print(f"Running with {param1}")
# Serve the deployment
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Synchronous version
serve(my_flow)
# Or asynchronous version
# from prefect import aserve
# await aserve(my_flow)
Key Differences:
1. The basic run_deployment
functionality remains similar between versions
2. Prefect 3.x introduces the new serve
and aserve
functions for running deployments directly
3. The deployment creation process is different:
- 2.x used Deployment.build_from_flow()
(now removed)
- 3.x uses flow.from_source().deploy()
or the prefect deploy
CLI command
For new projects, I recommend using Prefect 3.x as it provides a more streamlined deployment experience with better ergonomics. The serve
functionality in particular makes it easier to run deployments directly from your code.

Here's why each improvement matters:
1. Correct Import Path:
- Changed from prefect.deployments
to just prefect
- In Prefect 3.x, run_deployment
is available directly from the main prefect
package
2. Async/Await Pattern:
- Added async
to the flow definition and await
to run_deployment
- run_deployment
is an async function, so this prevents blocking behavior and allows proper concurrent execution
- This is especially important when running multiple deployments or handling long-running flows
3. Error Handling:
- Added try/except block to catch and handle potential failures
- Provides better visibility into what went wrong if the deployment fails
- Re-raises the exception to ensure the parent flow fails appropriately
4. Return Value Handling:
- Captures the flow_run
object returned by run_deployment
- Allows monitoring or further interaction with the spawned flow run
- Useful for checking status or handling downstream dependencies
5. Type Hints:
- Added type hint for the log_prints
parameter
- Makes the code more maintainable and helps with IDE support
6. Optional Parameters:
- Added timeout
parameter to prevent indefinite waiting
- Set return_type="flow_run"
to explicitly get the flow run object
You might also consider these additional improvements depending on your use case:
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect import run_deployment
from typing import Optional, Dict, Any
@flow
async def parent_flow(
deployment_name: str,
parameters: Dict[str, Any],
log_prints: bool = True,
timeout: Optional[int] = 3600
) -> Any:
"""
Run a child deployment with parameters.
Args:
deployment_name: Name of the deployment to run
parameters: Parameters to pass to the deployment
log_prints: Whether to log prints
timeout: Maximum time to wait for deployment in seconds
Returns:
Flow run object from the deployment
"""
try:
flow_run = await run_deployment(
name=deployment_name,
parameters=parameters,
timeout=timeout,
return_type="flow_run"
)
# Optional: Wait for the flow run to complete
# await flow_run.wait_for_completion()
return flow_run
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error running deployment {deployment_name}: {e}")
raise
This version adds:
- Parameter flexibility by accepting deployment name and parameters as arguments
- Documentation with docstring
- Option to wait for flow completion if needed
- More comprehensive type hints
- Better reusability across different deployments
Remember that when using this improved version, you'll need to call it like this:
python
parameters = {
"script_type": "INGEST",
"script_name": "PREFECT_TEST_1",
"minutes": 5
}
await parent_flow(
deployment_name="test-prefect-flow/ingest-prefect-test-deployment",
parameters=parameters
)
These improvements make the code more robust, maintainable, and reusable while following Prefect's best practices for handling asynchronous operations and error cases.Adam

# If running in a synchronous context, you'll need to use asyncio:
import asyncio

The key change is the import statement:
- ❌ from prefect import run_deployment

- ✅ from prefect.deployments import run_deployment

block), you need to properly handle the async execution.
Here's the improved version:
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.deployments import run_deployment
from typing import Optional
import asyncio # Add this import
@flow
async def parent_flow(log_prints: bool = True):
try:
print("Prefect iteration 1")

)
return flow_run
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error running deployment: {e}")
raise
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(parent_flow()) # Wrap the flow call in asyncio.run()
Key improvements:
1. Added asyncio.run()
to properly execute the async flow in the __main__
block
2. Without this, the flow would create a coroutine object but never actually execute
Optional improvements you might consider:
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.deployments import run_deployment
from typing import Optional
import asyncio
@flow
async def parent_flow(log_prints: bool = True):
try:
print("Prefect iteration 1")
flow_run = await run_deployment(
name="test-prefect-flow/ingest-prefect-test-deployment",
parameters={
"script_type": "INGEST",
"script_name": "PREFECT_TEST_1",
"minutes": 1
},
timeout=3600,
return_type="flow_run" # Explicitly request flow run object
)
# Optionally wait for the flow run to complete
# await flow_run.wait_for_completion()
# You could add status checking
print(f"Flow run status: {flow_run.state.name}")
return flow_run
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error running deployment: {e}")
raise
if __name__ == "__main__":
try:
asyncio.run(parent_flow())
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("\nFlow execution interrupted by user")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Flow execution failed: {e}")
These additional improvements add:
1. Better error handling in the __main__
block
2. Explicit return_type="flow_run"
for clearer intent
3. Option to wait for flow completion and check status
4. Graceful handling of keyboard interrupts
The choice between the simpler version and the more detailed version depends on your needs:
- Use the simpler version if you just need to trigger the deployment
- Use the detailed version if you need to monitor the flow run's progress or handle specific error casesAdam

Marvin
06/28/2025, 6:33 PMMarvin
06/28/2025, 6:34 PMreturn_type
parameter is not available in the current version of run_deployment
.
Here's the corrected code:
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.deployments import run_deployment
from typing import Optional
import asyncio
@flow
async def parent_flow(log_prints: bool = True):
try:
print("Prefect iteration 1")
flow_run = await run_deployment(
name="test-prefect-flow/ingest-prefect-test-deployment",
parameters={
"script_type": "INGEST",
"script_name": "PREFECT_TEST_1",
"minutes": 1
},
timeout=3600
)
# You can still check the flow run status
print(f"Flow run created with ID: {flow_run.id}")
return flow_run
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error running deployment: {e}")
raise
if __name__ == "__main__":
try:
asyncio.run(parent_flow())
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("\nFlow execution interrupted by user")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Flow execution failed: {e}")
The main changes:
1. Removed the return_type
parameter which was causing the error
2. The run_deployment
function already returns a flow run object by default
This version should work correctly now. The flow run object returned will contain information about the deployment execution that you can use for monitoring or further processing if needed.
If you want to wait for the flow run to complete, you can still do:
python
@flow
async def parent_flow(log_prints: bool = True):
try:
print("Prefect iteration 1")
flow_run = await run_deployment(
name="test-prefect-flow/ingest-prefect-test-deployment",
parameters={
"script_type": "INGEST",
"script_name": "PREFECT_TEST_1",
"minutes": 1
},
timeout=3600
)
# Wait for completion if needed
await flow_run.wait_completed()
print(f"Flow run {flow_run.id} completed with state: {flow_run.state_name}")
return flow_run
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error running deployment: {e}")
raise
This version should work correctly with the current Prefect 3.x API.Adam

Key changes made:
1. Removed async

2. Removed await

call
3. Removed asyncio

4. Everything else remains the same
This synchronous version is simpler and will work just fine. Use this version if you don't need async functionality in your workflow. The async version is more appropriate when you need to:
- Run multiple deployments concurrently
- Integrate with other async code
- Handle complex concurrent operations
Both approaches are valid in Prefect 3.x - choose the one that best fits your use case!Adam

by default runs the deployment as a subflow (with as_subflow=True
), which means it will wait for completion by default.
Here's the correct, simpler code you need:
python
from prefect import flow
from prefect.deployments import run_deployment
@flow
def parent_flow(log_prints: bool = True):
# Define your deployment configurations
deployments = [
{
"name": "test-prefect-flow/ingest-prefect-test-deployment",
"parameters": {
"script_type": "INGEST",
"script_name": "PREFECT_TEST_1",
"minutes": 1
}
},
{
"name": "test-prefect-flow/another-deployment",
"parameters": {
"script_type": "PROCESS",
"script_name": "PREFECT_TEST_2",
"minutes": 2
}
}
]
try:
for i, deployment in enumerate(deployments, 1):
print(f"Starting deployment {i}: {deployment['name']}")
# This will wait for completion by default
flow_run = run_deployment(
name=deployment["name"],
parameters=deployment["parameters"],
timeout=3600
)
print(f"Deployment {i} completed with state: {flow_run.state_name}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error running deployments: {e}")
raise
if __name__ == "__main__":
parent_flow()
If you want to run the deployment without waiting for it to complete, you can set `as_subflow=False`:
python
flow_run = run_deployment(
name=deployment["name"],
parameters=deployment["parameters"],
timeout=3600,
as_subflow=False # This will not wait for completion
)
The default behavior (with as_subflow=True
) is typically what you want when running deployments sequentially, as it ensures each deployment completes before moving on to the next one. All the waiting logic I included in my previous responses is unnecessary - I apologize for the confusion!
