I have a

deployment

that runs

Flow A

and then

Flow B

. However, I would also like to trigger

Flow B

separately without runing

Flow A

. Do I need to create a separate deployment for

Flow B

?

hi @Tri - it depends you could decide to only call B at runtime

@flow
def parent(inputs):

  should_run_a = _derive_should_run_a(inputs)

  if should_run_a:
    flow_a()

  flow_b()

or instead yea you can split out

flow_b

to be its own deployment, its mostly up to you on how you want to structure things

thank you for your reply @Nate. Currently I'm creating a separate deployment, but didn't know if that was "anti-pattern", I have also thought of the first approach! I asked the question to make sure I was not doing anything weird with Prefect. Thank you for confirming my approach

not at all. that's a very common reason to create a deployment sure thing!
