Question

Hi there We want to run a small instance of Prefect in an AWS instance We ll probably be using the Docker agent to run some fuzzy matching entity resolution flows in the same instance This is a beta of a service we may grow but in the beginning we wanted to start with simple infrastructure Unfortunately Prefect Cloud is disallowed at this stage because it would have to be vetted by our client s security team and that can t happen in the near future and that s why we are starting with Prefect Server My question is do you have any recommendations as to which instance type and size we might want to start with to run Prefect Server Some flows will be somewhat memory and CPU intensive but we won t be running a high volume of them Thanks

There are a ton of variables here mapping logs etc so it s hard to give a good recommendation I d say for just running Server you could start relatively small Since you are intending to run your flows on the same instance that will likely drive the requirements For example if your flows are memory intensive even occasionally you will need to have the available memory all the time

We are starting with a bigger machine and scale down as we understand the workload better
