Best Practices
1. Version Control Workflows
# Store workflow definitions in git
git add automation/workflows/
git commit -m "feat: Add data sync workflow"
2. Environment Separation
# Use environment-specific configurations
production:
schedule: "0 */6 * * *"
parallelism: 10
development:
schedule: null # Manual trigger only
parallelism: 2
3. Monitoring and Alerting
# Add observability to all workflows
def with_monitoring(workflow_name):
start_time = time.time()
try:
result = execute_workflow()
metrics.record_success(workflow_name, time.time() - start_time)
return result
except Exception as e:
metrics.record_failure(workflow_name, str(e))
alerts.send(f"Workflow {workflow_name} failed: {e}")
raise
4. Documentation
# Document workflow purpose and dependencies
# ABOUTME: Syncs customer data from CRM to data warehouse
# ABOUTME: Depends on: crm-api, warehouse-connection
# ABOUTME: Schedule: Every 6 hours
