@Marvin How much memory on a pod should I provision for a prefect worker?

For Prefect workers, the recommended memory allocation in a Kubernetes pod varies depending on the specific use case and expected workload, but here are the general guidelines provided by Prefect documentation: 1. Prefect 2.x: Prefect 2.x does not specify a strict memory requirement, but typically, it's recommended to provision at least 1024 MiB (1 GiB) of memory. CPU allocation defaults to 500m (0.5 CPU). Source: Prefect 2.x Worker Documentation 2. Prefect 3.x: Prefect 3.x also doesn't define a strict requirement, but the same recommendation of provisioning at least 1024 MiB (1 GiB) of memory remains relevant. Source: Prefect 3.x Worker Documentation Allocating these resources should offer a good starting point, but you may need to adjust based on the specific resource demands of your flows and tasks.
