PAL 105: Workflow Design Patterns – Compose Workflows That Meet Your Needs

Welcome to the fifth module of the Prefect Accelerated Learning (PAL) series!

In this session, we explore workflow design patterns that help you tailor Prefect to your needs. Whether you’re building a single cohesive flow or coordinating multiple flows and tasks, Prefect offers flexible patterns to get the job done.

You’ll learn how to use subflows, call other deployments with run_deployment, and trigger workflows using webhooks, custom events, and state-based deployment triggers.

📘 Topics Covered:
-Common workflow patterns: monoflow, subflows, run_deployment, and event-driven orchestration
-Triggering deployments based on state
-Emitting and responding to custom events
-Using webhooks for external triggers
-Running tasks independently
