Support for human-in-the-loop jobs

Open benpankow opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

What's the use case?

It would be useful for certain job use-cases to require human interaction during job execution. For example,

  • An automated workflow which triggers a dangerous action after a series of steps. The dangerous action should be manually approved before it executes.

  • A workflow which requires human input partway through execution, rather than at the start (e.g. run config).

I am interested in having this more baked into the product/design. This is a key point in my differential with Prefect.

@yuhan The link is currently not working. Could you please describe the proposed workaround?
