A house's inverter broker dropped at 04:27 and the power flow was quarantined 20 seconds later. Quarantine was terminal — the supervised task returned and only a publish or an engine restart could bring it back — so five hours of power and battery readings are missing, and what ended it was an unrelated `git pull` restarting uvicorn. Two changes, both in that path: - the failure budget is per task, not per flow. `power` runs an MQTT subscriber and a Victron keepalive publisher against the same broker; they died together and spent one shared budget in 41s, giving up before the 60s backoff step was ever reached. - quarantine is now a rest. The task sits out 5min, then 15, then an hour, and each time gets its budget back and tries again, so a broker that comes back is picked up without anyone watching. `quarantined` reads from whichever tasks are currently resting. The alert for it says when it will try again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01C5H4uLCCpsbipL1R7WKCee
Fluksio
Fluksio is a node-based automation software that brings trust and reliability to your flow. It just works and looks good. Get started by running
pip install fluksio
fluksio serve
and you're ready to go.
For data science
You can turn your existing data science project into a flow by decorating your functions with @node ...
# myresearch/train.py
import fluksio
from fluksio import Port, node
@node(
requires=["dataset", Port("lr", "float")],
provides=[Port("loss", "float", stream=True), Port("weights", "artifact")],
device="gpu", device_policy="prefer",
)
def fit(dataset, lr, epochs=25):
for epoch in range(epochs):
loss = step(...)
yield {"loss": loss} # published as it happens, kept as a series
return {"weights": fluksio.save_artifact("weights.pt")}
... and passing them to a Flow:
# myresearch/pipeline.py
from fluksio import Flow, Port
from myresearch.data import prepare
from myresearch.evaluate import evaluate
from myresearch.train import fit
train = Flow("train", nodes=[prepare, fit, evaluate],
inputs=[Port("lr", "float", initial=0.01)], outputs=["score"])
Fluksio will automatically infer the order of nodes based on the inputs and outputs you defined. When everything is set, you can launch your first run as follows:
fluksio run train --lr 0.05 --wait
Checkout our documentation for more infos.
Some other features
- Flows: typed messages between nodes, wired by name, edited on a canvas or declared in code. Every change is a commit in a git repository you own.
- Runs: an experiment and a CI-style job are the same entity. Parameters, seed, result, per-node timings, artifacts and the commit it ran at.
- Dashboards: charts and controls bound to the same messages the flows carry, with no separate metrics pipeline.
- Remote workers:
pip install fluksio-workeron the GPU box; it dials out over one websocket, so nothing there has to be reachable.
Fluksio can also be used for facility automation. Visit us on fluksio.com or go straight to our documentation.
