Prefect Community

Hello people, I`ve followed the instruction for running the UI  the simplest way possible and registering a scheduled flow. It has scheduled but it never actually run anything. I have two late flow execetution right now, any ideas on that?

Hi <@USLQM97SA> ! It looks like the last piece you’re missing is the Prefect Agent, which is responsible for executing the code. 

One moment and I’ll pull up some docs for getting that set up 

I got them <@UN6FTLFAS>! <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/overview.html>

Ah thanks <@UTHEQ4F9R>! :slightly_smiling_face:

worked perfectly, thank you <@UTHEQ4F9R> and <@UN6FTLFAS>

Just wanna say that having the capability of running the flow with python myflow.py without anything else running is so simple and good.

makes me wanna drop everything Ive built with airflow

One last question, is there any discussion about backfill? If so can you point me to that please?

Great! Glad it’s useful to you :slightly_smiling_face:

Regarding backfill, we don’t have super specific examples on it but there is a FAQ entry with some tips in it at <https://docs.prefect.io/core/faq.html#does-prefect-support-backfills>
