👋 Hi folks - Will here from the Product Team at Prefect!
About a
month ago, I announced the beta release of our first major dataflow observability feature,
Automations. Today, I’m excited to promote that feature to GA across all Cloud workspaces.
⚡ Automations in Prefect Cloud enable increased flexibility, control, and responsiveness of your dataflow by allowing you to configure Triggers and Actions in response to events — or lack thereof! -- from across the stack. This forms the foundation of the reactive dataflow capabilities that we’ll be rolling out in 2023.
🎏 For our flagship release, we’ve prioritized features to:
• Configure Triggers based on Flow Run state changes, Work Queue health, or custom criteria via the API.
• Execute Actions to run/cancel Flow Runs, pause/resume schedules, pause/resume Work Queues, and send beefed up context-aware notifications with support for Jinja templating.
📈 This feature set will be a springboard for a wealth of exciting enhancements to Prefect over the next year, so as always, let us know what you think.
🫂 Happy automating!
