# A pipeline with no pipeline API

The same fan-out-and-gate as [`../script`](../script), written with the client instead of
`runPipeline`. About 30 lines of ordinary JavaScript.

```bash
DEEPNOTE_TOKEN=… NA_NOTEBOOK_ID=… EU_NOTEBOOK_ID=… APAC_NOTEBOOK_ID=… pnpm example:pipeline-sdk
```

The point of this example is what is missing from it. There is no workflow object, no step
registry, no graph to declare: `Promise.all` fans out, `filter` gates, `await` sequences. JavaScript
executes the pipeline, and the SDK only makes each remote operation awaitable, typed, and named.

That is also the trade. Because the coordination lives in this process, it is not durable: kill the
script mid-run and the notebook runs continue in Deepnote — they are detached, and their ids are
printed — but nothing aggregates them and no gate fires. Pick this up again with
`deepnote.getRun(id)`, or reach for one of the durable options in the
[package README](../../../packages/pipelines/README.md).

Compared with [`../script`](../script), what you give up is the execution graph and the event
stream. `runPipeline` records both; a plain function records neither, because nothing is watching.
Callers who want the graph and event stream import `runPipeline` from `@deepnote/pipelines` directly.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Print each run id after Deepnote accepts the run.

Lines 43-50 use runAndWait(), so no id is logged until every run completes successfully. If the process stops during the wait, users cannot use deepnote.getRun(id) as examples/pipelines/sdk/README.md states. Call run(), log run.id, then call wait().

Proposed fix
 const analyses = await Promise.all(
-  REGIONS.map(region =>
-    analysis(region.notebookId).runAndWait({
+  REGIONS.map(async region => {
+    const run = await analysis(region.notebookId).run({
       inputs: { region: region.name, trailing_months: 6 },
+    })
+    console.log(`  ${region.name}: started (${run.id})`)
+    return run.wait({
       onStatus: status => console.log(`  ${region.name}: ${status}`),
     })

pnpm add @deepnote/pipelines
```

## Start a run, wait for it, use its result

```ts
import { Deepnote, outputs } from "@deepnote/pipelines";

const deepnote = Deepnote.fromEnv(); // DEEPNOTE_TOKEN, optionally DEEPNOTE_API_URL

const extract = deepnote.notebooks.define({
id: "nb-extract",
outputs: {
datasetUri: outputs.text("uri-block"),
rowCount: outputs.json<number>("stats-block", "row_count"),
},
});

// Starting and waiting are separate, because they are separate in the API.
const run = await extract.run({ inputs: { region: "eu", months: 6 } });
console.log(run.id); // the run continues in Deepnote whether or not this process does

const result = await run.wait({ onStatus: (status) => console.log(status) });
result.values.datasetUri; // string
result.values.rowCount; // number
```

`runAndWait()` is those two steps when you want them together. A failed run throws
`DeepnoteRunError` carrying the result — the snapshot is usually the only record of what the failing
block actually said — and `allowFailure: true` returns it instead. `wait({ timeoutMs })` throws
`DeepnoteRunTimeout` when the deadline passes first; only the watching stopped, the run continues in
Deepnote, and `deepnote.getRun(id)` picks it up again.

`extract.runs({ pageSize, pageToken })` is one page of the notebook's run history, newest first,
including runs started from Deepnote's UI; the page's `nextPageToken` fetches the next one.

### A pipeline is just a function

There is no workflow API to learn for the common case. `await` sequences, `Promise.all` fans out,
`if` branches, `try/catch` handles failure:

```ts
const [customers, products] = await Promise.all([
deepnote.notebooks.ref("nb-customers").runAndWait({ inputs: { date } }),
deepnote.notebooks.ref("nb-products").runAndWait({ inputs: { date } }),
]);

if (customers.values.rowCount > 1_000_000) {
Comment thread
coderabbitai[bot] marked this conversation as resolved.
await deepnote.notebooks.ref("nb-partition").runAndWait();
}
```

Deepnote does not interpret that function; JavaScript does. Which means the same code runs from
cron, GitHub Actions, a Lambda, a FastAPI route, a CLI, Temporal, Airflow, or another Deepnote
notebook, and Deepnote competes with none of them. What the SDK adds is the remote operation being
awaitable, typed, and named — not a runtime that owns your control flow.

Reach for `runPipeline` (below) when you want what a plain function does not give you: the execution
graph, an event stream, and control nodes that make a local gate visible.

### Named outputs are a client-side contract

Inputs are symmetrical already: `POST /v2/runs` takes values keyed by the notebook's input-block
names. Outputs are not — a finished run is a snapshot of blocks, and only the author knows which
block holds the answer. So `outputs.text()`, `outputs.json()` and `outputs.lastJson()` declare that
mapping on the client, and the error names your binding rather than a block id you never typed:

`outputs.lastJson()` is the one to prefer for a notebook Deepnote created from a file, since
Deepnote reassigns block ids on creation. If Deepnote later grows a server-side notion of named
outputs, this surface does not change — only the resolver behind it does.
