Prefect Community

I'm working on our prefect 2.0 migration - we have an AWS ECS Fargate architecture and I'll be building my own custom container for Fargate. I'm wondering whether I need to use a `prefecthq` image as the base for our image or if I can use something more stripped down, especially since I'm already installed prefect as a dependency.

I know it's possible, I guess I'm asking what your images bring to the table. I get how it's useful for a worker; but curious if I need it to run flows is i'm already doing a `pip install prefect` of my own.

It doesn't seem like there's anything too special going on here. It's mostly useful because it's convenient, but I recently helped someone who wanted an image with both node and python with prefect installed on it and was able to accomplish that with the base image being `python:3.11-slim`
