Ascend Flow

An Ascend Flow (data pipeline) is a graph of Components that run together as a logical computation unit using a Data Plane. You can use Parameters at the Flow and Flow run level to customize behavior across Flows. A Project has one or more Flows that define a "Super Graph" of Flows. Components in one Flow may depend on Components in another Flow.

Flow run

A Flow run is an instance of a Flow that is executed. Ascend tracks historical runs for all Flows in the Instance Store.
