Hello, has anyone heard or read about the use of flowable (https://www.flowable.com/) for the purpose of data & ML orchestration ? We recently were asked to consider flowable as an option to build data & ML pipelines. Personally I see no overlap of flowable with data & ML orchestration frameworks but trying to figure out how to address this question in best possible way to explain to individuals who are not in data & ML domain. Thanks

Are you already a Prefect user, or are you new to Prefect? I haven't heard about that specific tool, but in general, I think it may be helpful to first define your use cases and the problems you need to solve before looking at any extra tools. For questions about that tool, perhaps you can reach out to them? We can help with questions you may have about Prefect

Thanks, I am very much familiar to Prefect. I just wanted to see if anybody in the community has tackled this question before of how to explain differentiation between Prefect like framework and business process orchestration frameworks to engineers and architects who have mainly enterprise application development background.

Gotcha, actually the question about workflow orchestration vs. business process automation tools has come up recently and I've tried to answer it here, but happy to dive deeper if you want to chat about business process automation
