Session Goal

The session aimed to explore and refine the architecture and design of the Flowpower project, leveraging insights from PromptFlow to enhance modularity, user experience, and functionality.

Key Activities

  • Token-by-Token Streaming: Explored PromptFlow’s token-by-token streaming over HTTP using server-sent events, focusing on real-time user experience applications.
  • Strategic Pivot: Reevaluated Flowpower’s architecture with a focus on modular design and feature integration.
  • SDK Design: Outlined the structure and purpose of the flowpower/sdk/ directory, detailing key components like client.py and run_config.py.
  • Execution Layer: Analyzed the engine/ directory’s role in managing interactions with PromptFlow, centralizing flow execution and streaming output management.
  • API Layer: Transitioned Flowpower to a multi-user, production-ready platform with REST endpoints and remote orchestration.
  • CLI Overview: Detailed the developer-facing CLI for Flowpower, emphasizing its structure and command implementation.
  • Project Architecture: Outlined foundational files and structure, including configuration and logging.
  • CLI Framework Comparison: Compared Typer and Argparse frameworks for CLI design, highlighting strengths and strategic recommendations.
  • Final CLI Plan: Refined the CLI plan for Flowpower, integrating PromptFlow features for enhanced usability.

Achievements
