@Marvin can I run code in kotlin using the docker deployment in Prefect?

Running code in Kotlin using a Docker deployment in Prefect is not explicitly documented in the Prefect guides. However, Prefect allows you to run your flows in Docker containers, and since Docker can run any language that can be containerized, it can also run Kotlin. You would have to set up a Docker container with your Kotlin code and all necessary dependencies, and then use Prefect to deploy and run that container. Here's a brief outline of the steps you might follow: 1. Write your Kotlin code and package it as a runnable application (e.g., a JAR file if you're using the JVM version of Kotlin). 2. Create a
Dockerfile
that uses a base image with a Java runtime environment, adds your Kotlin application, and specifies the command to run it. 3. Build the Docker image. 4. Use Prefect to deploy your Docker-based flow that invokes your Docker image containing the Kotlin application. For detailed instructions on deploying flows with Docker in Prefect, you can refer to the Docker deployment guide and the Kubernetes deployment guide. Keep in mind that while this approach lets you run Kotlin code, you would still have to interface with Prefect's Python SDK to define and orchestrate your flows. If you need help with specific Prefect configurations or Kotlin-related Docker settings, please let me know, and I'll assist you to the best of my ability.
