Question

Hello hello dear folks A very basic question just started looking at the tool If I understand correctly the cloud version deals only with UI scheduling etc and we still need to provide our own infrastructure to host code storage and run the work agents There is no fully managed service Am I following along correctly

Wanted to ask what s the simplest option but I guess it depends Will come back if I have more questions Thank you for information and your time +1

Zanie · Answer

It definitely depends If you re just getting started I d recommend just running a LocalAgent to get a feel for it Frequently using Docker storage and a DockerAgent will be best so you can run your flow reproducibly in a container The DockerAgent runs great locally then you can scale it to running on several servers if needed Then to really scale out you can switch to a K8s cluster with a KubernetesAgent

Heads up that we re refactoring some of this right now all of the old routes will be supported for quite some time and new documentation on configuring flow runs will be up next week

So if I start kicking the tyres with a bit more gusto from next week I ll be consulting newly updated docs
