?? Pipedream announces the launch of Parallel branching in beta! Learn more here ?? ?
Product Launch Announcement: We're excited to announce that Parallel branching is now available in beta! Parallel?is multi-path branching operator that allows you to create multiple execution branches with optional filtering rules. By default, workflow steps are executed serially and in sequence — only one step can run at a time. Parallel execution unlocks the ability to run steps concurrently. Unlike?Switch?and?If/Else, the order in which rules are defined will not affect the path of execution. This offers the capability to: - Create non-linear workflows that execute steps in parallel branches - Define when branches run — always, conditionally or never (to disable a branch) - Merge and continue execution in the parent flow after the branching operation As another example: If you need to make multiple LLM queries that are not dependent on one another, you can now make them in parallel and then reference the responses in the parent flow. (You may also optionally apply filtering rules to control when each branch executes.) Check out our docs to learn more, and let us know if you have any feedback in our Slack Community Docs - https://lnkd.in/eG8E7x4Z Slack - https://lnkd.in/eBZXHQ7M What will be the first thing you build with Parallel?
