Prefect Community

Is it possible to check (from inside the task) if the flow is being executed locally, without agent or it it's being executed in Prefect Server/Cloud by an agent? E.g. by looking up some property in the context?

Hey <@U01BVQ9FGLE>, you can do `if prefect.config.backend != "cloud":`

Actually no that only distinguishes between cloud and server. Let me think for the agent.

Use `prefect.context.get("running_with_backend")`. This does not exist for `flow.run()` calls.
