Here are a few potential reasons why your flow works locally but not in the Prefect Cloud, along with steps to troubleshoot: 1. Environment and Credentials Configuration: - Ensure your cloud environment is correctly configured with the appropriate credentials. Use the
prefect config view
CLI command to verify that
PREFECT_API_URL
and
PREFECT_API_KEY
are set correctly. - Documentation about connecting to Prefect Cloud: Connecting to Cloud. 2. Secrets and Variables: - Ensure any secrets or environment variables required for MongoDB access are correctly set in the Prefect Cloud. - Documentation on managing secrets: Managing Secrets. 3. Parameters and Context Issues: - If your flow uses parameters or context data, verify that these are being correctly passed in the cloud deployment. - An issue related to parameter retrieval Prefect Issue #8853 shows that certain configurations might behave differently in the cloud. If your flow relies on parameters, verify their structure and default values. 4. Network and Permissions: - The cloud environment might have different network settings or permissions that prevent it from accessing the MongoDB Atlas instance. Check any VPC, firewall, or IP whitelisting settings on your MongoDB Atlas. 5. Dependencies and Execution Environment: - Ensure all necessary dependencies are included in your deployment environment. - Setup work pools and include required packages to be available at runtime. 6. Prefect Cloud Logs: - Review the flow run logs in the Prefect Cloud UI to identify any warnings or errors that might not be throwing explicit exceptions. These steps should help you identify and resolve the issue preventing your database from being populated in the cloud. If you need more detailed troubleshooting, consider providing specific logs or configurations.
