Prefect Community

Hi Team, is there any guide about resource planning for a local Prefect agent? I run it in a Kubernetes pod with limited memory allocated. But sometimes the process get killed because of OOM and cause the flow failed to run.  My flow should not take too many memory, so I’d like to know if there is any material I can refer to about memory usage of the agent and proper way to plan for it. Thanks.

Hey <@U016373DSP4>, need to check with the team what the plans are around this

There is not much Prefect can do here because an agent has limited memory to begin with and the flow is using up too much because it’s running on the same machine.

There is work in progress though to make the agent as lightweight as possible.
