Hi Zach without knowing more about what you re doing it s hard to answer this What kind of flow storage environment run config are you using

Zach · Answer

I am using the `KubernetesJobEnvironment` For storage I am using `prefect environments storage Docker` I am not sure what you mean by run config I am using the `PrefectFlowManager` if that is what you mean but I don t think it is

We re moving to a new configuration system for flow runs configured by `flow run config` see <https docs prefect io orchestration flow config overview html> these will replace environments after a long deprecation cycle

The main slowdown for you would then be `Docker` storage building This is less a question about how to configure prefect and more a question about how to speedup docker storage builds A few tips If you have lots of custom dependencies you might build a custom base image used by all your flows and set this as `base image` Then your flow build would only need to add the flow source to the image before registering Alternatively you might use a different storage type `S3` `Github` for hosting your flow source and configure a static image on your flow separately To do that using the legacy environment based system you d set `flow environment metadata image = your image name ` If you re using a `KubernetesRun` run config this would just be the `image` parameter to that object
