@Marvin I need to scale up Prefect server and ensure it's not a single point of failure (that is, at a given point of time, multiple prefect servers available). Is HorizontalPodAutoscaler for Prefect-Server a good option to consider? Additional Context: I host Prefect Server in Kubernetes and use it by port-forwarding.

Scaling up the Prefect server and ensuring it's not a single point of failure is a common concern when deploying Prefect in a production environment. However, the Prefect documentation does not provide specific guidance on using a HorizontalPodAutoscaler for the Prefect Server. The Prefect server is typically started with the

prefect server start

CLI command. If you're hosting the Prefect server in a Kubernetes environment, you might consider using Kubernetes' built-in scaling capabilities to manage the number of Prefect server instances. However, it's important to note that scaling up the Prefect server might not be as straightforward as scaling other types of services. The Prefect server includes an API server backed by a database, and scaling this type of architecture often involves more than just adding more instances of the server. You might need to consider other factors, such as how to handle database connections and how to manage state across multiple server instances. It's also important to ensure that all instances of the Prefect server are properly configured to communicate with the Prefect Cloud. In conclusion, while using a HorizontalPodAutoscaler might be a good starting point, you'll likely need to consider additional factors to effectively scale your Prefect server deployment. I recommend reaching out to the Prefect community or consulting with a Kubernetes expert to get more specific guidance based on your particular use case.
