If I have a collections of metaflows to run I usually use

makefile

as the orchestrator in a pattern like

make flow1.o; make flow2.o

. As sometimes makefile can be cumbersome to use if the use cases becomes too complex, I wonder if there’s any other better alternatives of makefile? Is it possible to use a metaflow to run metaflows?

great question! For production settings where you want to run things automatically, you can use

@trigger_on_finish

to create a flow of flows for

makefile

style local cases we don't have a built-in solution yet, but you can surely create a Metaflow that does

call(['python', 'flow.py', 'run])

in steps

Thank you very much for the prompt response! So it’s a valid use case to use a metaflow to run metaflows 😄 just wanna make sure that I wasn’t crazy for thinking that route

not at all! One day that pattern will be supported more officially 🙏

Thank you! Really looking forward to that!
