@Marvin what is the ephemeral api service that runs automatically? is the server process forked from the caller python process?

From the GitHub issues referenced, it seems that Prefect's server can operate in an ephemeral mode. This is the default server type for some circumstances, which often uses SQLite as the database. However, there isn't specific information regarding whether the server process is forked from the caller's Python process. To understand how Prefect handles subprocesses, it is likely that Prefect uses asynchronous mechanisms to manage server processes. The details about whether or not these processes are forked directly from the caller Python process are not explicitly documented in the issues retrieved. For more precise and detailed information, you might need to examine the source code or consult with Prefect's developers. You can follow the linked GitHub issues for more context: - Issue 6762 - Issue 6519 Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
