Prefect Community

Hey! What would you say is the best way of running prefect in production with minimal flow / task startup time?

Standing Dask cluster and k8s agent with a very small python image?

you can probably get the lowest latency with a local agent or when using Kubernetes/Docker agent with worker nodes having the images locally to the node

on Kubernetes, you can specify imagePullPolicy set to *`IfNotPresent`*
so that the image is pulled only if it is not already present locally
