Run FastFlow server

FastFlows is a FastAPI server & command line tool to communicate with Prefect 2.0 as a Workflow manager to deploy, run, track flows and more.

To start work with FastFlows you should define at least 2 environment variables:

    # Prefect API Server address
    PREFECT__URI=http://localhost:4200

    # Path to folder with flows
    FLOWS_HOME=flows

If you want to define variables with env prefix, for example, like LOCAL__PREFECT__URI or DEV__PREFECT__URI you can use environment variable ENV_NAME.

If Fastflows will see ENV_NAME variable in environment - it will search for variables with prefix defined in this ENV_NAME, for example:

if ENV_NAME = 'LOCAL__'

Fastflows will read variables like LOCAL__PREFECT__URI and LOCAL__FLOWS_HOME,

if ENV_NAME = 'DEV__', then fastflows will expect variables like DEV__PREFECT__URI and DEV__FLOWS_HOME

How to run FastFlows with Prefect cluster

with Kubernetes

• Kube instructions
• Kubernetes configuration

with Docker-Compose

• Docker-Compose readme
• Docker-compose YAML

Run cli

    fastflows --help

Flows Deployment

Auto deployment

Deployment of Flows can be done by FastFlows automatically: if there is a new flow or changes in FLOWS_HOME directory - FastFlows creates a new deployment. To disable auto deployment set env variable to false

    AUTO_DEPLOYMENT = false
