Run FastFlow server

FastFlows is a FastAPI server & command line tool to comunicate 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 Fastflow 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 fastflow will expect variables like 'dev_PREFECT_URI' and 'dev_FLOWS_HOME'

Build FastFlows

To build stand alone image:

    docker build . -f docker/Dockerfile -t fastflows

Run Prefect witn DB in Docker-Compose

    docker-compose -f ./docker/docker-compose.yml up  --build

To enter UI:

    # if you will try to use 0.0.0.0 you will not see any data because of CORS issues
    http://localhost:4200/flows

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 - FastFlow create new deployment. To disable auto deployment set env variable to 0

    FASTFLOWS_AUTO_DEPLOYMENT = 0
