Schedulers

A Flow supports multiple backend schedulers which configure how work is scheduled in the workflow.

By default, flows are configured to use an active scheduler which runs as a process. The active scheduler:

  1. Determines the order that layers should be executed in.

  2. Submits layers to the Executor for execution.

  3. Waits on layers to complete to submit new layers for execution.

it actively manages the tasks in the workflow until their completion and then exits.

from laminar import Flow
from laminar.configurations import schedulers

class ScheduledFlow(Flow):
    ...

flow = ScheduledFlow(scheduler=schedulers.Scheduler())

Delegated

Warning

Delegated schedulers are experimental.

Delegated schedulers don’t manage the execution of a workflow. Instead, they compile the flow’s directed acyclic graph into a format that can be used by other schedulers to manage the workflow. Delegated schedulers provide a method for writing flows easily in laminar and executing them on another workflow engine.
