Prefect Community

Hi everyone. I'm trying to deploy a prefect server in ECS. The server works fine locally in a docker compose file. But in ECS, I got a time out error (see logs here <https://gist.github.com/lucascr91/b5d833666d79601a86bdd2f2ec12962b>)

I use my local prefect server to test the connection to the RDS instance I created for the ECS deployment and it worked fine. But in the ECS task I always got this error. I thought it could be related to resource constraint but even after I increase the CPU and memory for the task it fails to start up the server. Any hint on what is possibly going on will be appreciated.

Hi <@U040ZDD7KU4> :wave: it looks to me like the server is having trouble reaching your RDS instance. The stack trace has a lot of reference to alembic - which is the library we use to manage database migrations - and the error raised is `TimeoutError`. Probably something about your network setup. Maybe confirm that you can connect to your RDS instance from ECS independently of Prefect?

Hi, Emil. Thanks for the answer. You are right. The database was in a different subnet than the ECS service. I did the correction and is working now.
