06/24/2021, 3:58 PMIf you're just getting started though, it's almost always easier to use the free Cloud tier first then switch to Server if you decide you need your own deployment.Is there any difference between the cloud and the self hosted one as it stands currently? I understand UI was recently open sourced?

06/24/2021, 5:05 PMThe Docker agent executes flow runs in individual Docker containers.And so, let's say we have 5 flows to run, then
prefect agent docker start
will create 5 containers, one for each flow?Zanie

06/24/2021, 5:12 PMit does not usually require the agent to continue running for the flow run to succeedNot too sure I understand this very well - if the agent is offline, how does the flow run?
