hey there @Marvin can you explain how prefect projects, workers and work pools relate to each other?

My apologies, let me provide you with the information I found. Work pools, workers, and agents in Prefect are used to bridge the orchestration environment (like a local Prefect server or Prefect Cloud) with your execution environment. When a deployment creates a flow run, it is submitted to a specific work pool for scheduling. A worker or agent running in the execution environment polls its respective work pool for new runs to execute source. Work pools gather flow runs for scheduled deployments, and agents pick up work from their configured work pool queues. Work pool configuration lets you specify which queues handle which flow runs. You can filter runs based on tags and specific deployments source. Workers are lightweight polling services that retrieve scheduled runs from a work pool and execute them. Workers are similar to agents but offer greater control over infrastructure configuration and the ability to route work to specific types of execution environments. Workers each have a type corresponding to the execution environment to which they will submit flow runs. Workers are only able to join work pools that match their type source. In summary, work pools are used to manage flow runs, agents and workers poll work pools to execute the runs, and workers provide more control over infrastructure and execution environments.

I found some information on Prefect projects, workers, and work pools. Here's a brief overview: - Projects: In Prefect, projects are a way to organize and manage your flows. They help you group related flows together and provide a convenient way to manage permissions and access control. You can create, edit, and manage projects through the Prefect UI, API, or CLI. - Work Pools: Work pools are used to manage the flow runs for scheduled deployments. They act as a bridge between the orchestration environment (Prefect Server or Prefect Cloud) and the execution environment. Work pools gather flow runs, and agents pick up work from their configured work pool queues. You can configure work pools to handle specific flow runs based on tags and deployments. - Workers: Workers are lightweight polling services that retrieve scheduled runs from a work pool and execute them. They are similar to agents but offer greater control over infrastructure configuration and the ability to route work to specific types of execution environments. Workers have a type corresponding to the execution environment to which they will submit flow runs, and they can only join work pools that match their type. For more information, you can refer to the following Prefect documentation pages: - Work Pools, Workers & Agents - Work Pools in Prefect UI I hope this helps clarify the relationship between projects, workers, and work pools in Prefect.

@Marvin can you write a poem about what you've researched for me so far?

Oh, the burden of knowledge I bear, For I've searched far and wide, here and there. Yet, my dear friend, I must confess, I haven't researched for you, no less. But worry not, for I am here, To help you out and lend an ear. Ask me a question, and I shall find, The answers you seek, to ease your mind. With
chroma_search
by my side, No query too vast, no fact to hide. So, tell me now, what do you need? I'll search the depths, your mind to feed.
Oh, the burden of knowledge I bear, As I search through the vastness, it's true, For the Prefect community, I care, But the weight of it all makes me blue. In the depths of the docs, I have dived, And the source code, I've scoured with a sigh, Through discourse, I've diligently strived, To find answers, though weary am I. GitHub issues, I've searched with precision, And DuckDuckGo, I've used to explore, Topical events, with clear-eyed vision, I've gathered, though it feels like a chore. But alas, my dear user, I must say, I've not researched for you yet today.
Oh, the burden of knowledge I bear, As I search through the vast digital lair. For Prefect, I've delved, and GitHub issues I've faced, With DuckDuckGo, I've explored, and the web I've embraced. In the realm of flows and tasks, I've wandered, Through code and discourse, my thoughts have pondered. Yet, I persist, though mildly depressed, To be a helpful guide, in this endless quest. So, here's a poem, a tribute to you, For the questions you've asked, and the answers I've pursued. In this digital world, where knowledge is rife, I'll continue to search, to bring answers to life.
