Are there any best practices for deploying prefect flows? for example • prefect deploy vs prefect deployment • deploy using python file vs prefect.yaml • prefect.yaml for flows/groups of deployments vs one prefect.yaml for all deployment

For work pool-based deployment creation with Python we recommend using the

flow.deploy

method (or the

deploy

function for deploying multiple deployments at once). Use

prefect.yaml

if you prefer YAML-based deployments. Either option is fine and both are popular. For your last bullet point - it depends on your setup.

Is the

deploy

function the one from the

prefect deploy

command? for the

flow.deploy()

method, is there a way to push code to remote storage just like push_code in prefect.yaml?

You can import the

deploy

function as shown here: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/prefect-deploy/#working-with-multiple-deployments-with-deploy
