Hi, I am working on a small personal data engineering project. I am willing to create some DAGs and execute them to prepare reports. Since this is for my personal usage I am not willing to setup a prefect server as it can be overkill for my usecase. I do run some python scrips on cron on my local machine and willing to do the same in this case but DAGs will give me more flexibility to add up new features on it. Is it possible to use prefect with pure python to build and execute DAGs and take care of orchestration by CRON which I have been using? Thanks in advance.

It is straightforward to run a prefect flow from command line. I don't see a reason why you couldn't invoke/schedule the flow runs from cron, though I haven't tried it myself.

Thank you @jack I will try that
