Tracking flow status after execution

[jhamman]

Our current setup in our demo-feedstock (https://github.com/pangeo-forge/terraclimate-feedstock/commit/a9229cbadcca313760e02302085fef3d0f1b6346) is using GitHub actions to run a recipes Prefect flow. The flow run step (prefect run flow ...) is working but exits once the flow is delivered to the prefect agent. This leads to a situation where the CI reports a successful deployment before the flow is actually executed.

So we need some way to track the flow's deployment status, in addition to the CI execution. Some ideas discussed on today's call were:

• Use GitHub deployments api: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/repos#deployments
• Use Prefect GitHub Tasks: e.g. https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/tasks/github.html#opengithubissue
• Use a bot to track status and report errors
