@Marvin how can I setup flow.serve flows with their own virtual environments?

To set up
flow.serve
flows with their own virtual environments in Prefect, you can follow these steps: 1. Create and activate a virtual environment for each flow: - Use tools like
virtualenv
or
venv
to create isolated environments.
Copy code
bash
     virtualenv my_flow_env
     source my_flow_env/bin/activate
2. Install required dependencies: - Install any Python packages your flow needs within this environment.
Copy code
bash
     pip install package1 package2
3. Define your flow within the virtual environment: - Create a Python script for your flow. For example:
Copy code
python
     from prefect import flow
     
     @flow(log_prints=True)
     def my_flow():
         print("This is my flow running in its own virtual environment!")
4. Serve the flow using the
flow.serve
method
: - You can serve this flow and apply the virtual environment.
Copy code
python
     if __name__ == "__main__":
         my_flow.serve(name="my-flow", tags=["example"], parameters={})
This approach ensures that each flow runs in its own isolated environment. For more detailed steps and configurations, consult the Prefect documentation. Let me know if you need any more help or specific details!
