09/14/2021, 7:15 PMHello, I can’t seem to find the local development guide in the docs anymore, how do I start prefect server & agent locally for the first time?

09/14/2021, 7:19 PMHey Kevin, prefect server starts the UI correctly, but how can I connect to my K8S deployment with external postgresql as in earlier versions?
Also

prefect backend serverr

09/14/2021, 7:29 PMI see, so the correct order of operations for purely local development would be
1. prefect backend server
2. prefect server start
3. prefect local agent start
?

09/14/2021, 7:48 PMGreat and what would be the recommend way to switch from local agent to our K8s deployed server?
Would it be just adding the following lines into the flow file?
# comment out
# flow.executor = LocalExecutor()
#! For using kube
flow.executor = DaskExecutor()
# flow.run_config = KubernetesRun(
# image=<path to docker image>
# env={
# "PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__BITBUCKET_CLOUD_USERNAME": os.environ[
# "BITBUCKET_CLOUD_USERNAME"
# ],
# "PREFECT__CONTEXT__SECRETS__BITBUCKET_CLOUD_APP_PASSWORD": os.environ[
# "BITBUCKET_ACCESS_TOKEN"
# ],
# "PREFECT__LOGGING__LEVEL": "DEBUG",
# },
# image_pull_policy="Always",
# )k

prefect backend server✅ 1
