Hi everyone, We want to use Metaflow with a lot of user interaction during the flow run itself. For example, in some cases, we want to ask a human to validate an option or to input a value, and then resume the flow where it stopped. Our infrastructure is on AWS. Is it possible to use Metaflow this way ? Would it use the resume functionality ? Thanks a lot !

Hi Maxime! One mechanism would be to deconstruct the flow into multiple flows and chain them through events - where each user response generates an event that triggers a flow
Another option would be to use the runner api to stitch together flow execution - we have a similar api for step functions and argo-workflows in the works - it should land hopefully next week https://outerbounds.com/blog/metaflow-in-notebooks-and-scripts/

Thank you for the answer ! We would rather not separate our flows because the number of possible human validation would put us to create a lot of flows, for each case. For the Runner, we will definitely look into it, it seems really interesting !
