Hello, quick question from somebody just getting started with Prefect. Is Prefect 3 already stable or should I start developing in the latest version 2 knowing that I will be updating in the near future?

hi @Matias Calderini - prefect 3 is generally stable at this point, the changes between now and the general availability of prefect 3 will likely not affect most users I would encourage you to
pip install -U prefect --pre
(use prefect 3.x) if you're just getting started with prefect

I'm assuming that I shouldn't push anything to production until the general availability though. Would you know when that would happen? Or would you be confident about potential changes too?

I'm assuming that I shouldn't push anything to production until the general availability though
that's reasonable, and if you decide to use the latest 2.x in the meantime you shouldn't find that much (if any) changes are required to switch to prefect 3 I don't have an exact date on GA for prefect 3, but again i'd reiterate that most of the required changes between now and then are on the margin

ok thank you for the quick replies!
