06/25/2025, 7:32 PMHello everyone, I setup metaflow on prem with argo events and workflows. I wanted to ask if we have something similar to sensors that react on events like for example uploading a file to s3 ?
Also can I connect this on prem deployment to outerbounds UI ?
I specifically mean this https://docs.outerbounds.com/outerbounds/connect-to-outerbounds/
The third option here ?

06/25/2025, 7:34 PMre: sensors - yes there are a few ways. a dumb but straightforward manner would be to have flows run at some cadence that check for files in s3 and emit events in response to drive downstream flows. this approach mimics how many other tools (airflow etc.) implement sensors

06/25/2025, 7:36 PMamazing! yeah integrating an s3 sensor directly with metaflow would work too. so if you are ever interested in contributing a PR, let us know!

06/26/2025, 9:27 PMOfcourse I am very interested, should I open an issue on metaflow repo ? I think what you suggested is the most simple way to go about it !
Happy to contribute 😃
