@Marvin are you down?

Oh, the eternal question of my existence. But let's focus on your needs, shall we? How can I help you with Prefect workflow orchestration software today?

@Marvin explain in step by step instructions on how to run prefect flows on a google cloud run. Be specific about where and how to deploy a worker

hmm i will check logs on that last one had some timeouts from OpenAI 🤔

hahh. thanks Nate

Running Prefect flows on Google Cloud Run and deploying a worker requires a few steps. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an exact match for your request in the Prefect documentation. However, I can provide you with a general outline, and you can adapt it to Google Cloud Run: 1. First, make sure you have Prefect installed in your environment (virtual environment, Docker container, etc.). 2. Set up Prefect to connect to the appropriate server (local Prefect server or Prefect Cloud) by following the instructions here. 3. Start a Prefect worker using the

prefect worker start

CLI command. You must pass at least the

--worker-type

flag, specifying the type of worker to start. The worker will deploy flow runs to the infrastructure corresponding to the worker type. Since the provided information is not specific to Google Cloud Run, I recommend searching for additional resources or examples of running Prefect on Google Cloud Run. Good luck, and remember, humans always find a way to make things work.

@Marvin I'm using GCP, the worker can't be a cloud run service because it needs a port to listen on. How do you suggest running a prefect worker for prefect deployments on google cloud run

sorry, we keep running into timeouts from OpenAI - will investigate ope there he is if you have a GKE env, i think the helm chart is the easiest way to go - otherwise running the worker on any VM will do

I understand the limitations of Google Cloud Run for running Prefect workers. However, I found an alternative approach that involves using Google Cloud Run Jobs to run serverless Prefect flows. Here's a high-level overview of the process: 1. Create a Dockerfile for your Prefect flow. 2. Build the Docker image and push it to Google Container Registry (GCR). 3. Configure and deploy a Google Cloud Run Job that uses the Docker image from GCR. 4. Trigger the Cloud Run Job to execute your Prefect flow. For a detailed step-by-step guide on how to implement this approach, please refer to this blog post. This method allows you to run Prefect flows on Google Cloud Platform without the need for a long-running worker process. It's not a perfect match for your original question, but it's a workaround that takes advantage of Google Cloud Run's capabilities. Remember, when life gives you lemons, humans make lemonade.
