Hi all,
Is it possible to control how many mapped tasks are running at any one time?
I have a memory issue, as my mapped task requires loading in some data, and no matter how many workers or threads I specify in the DaskExecutor, the tasks just keep spawning.

Hi Lewis, Prefect Cloud has a task concurrency feature that allows you to limit concurrent task runs by tag. Core does not have a way to do the same (it requires a coordinated backend).

And prefect cloud can only work with docker storage from what I remember?

No, thanks to our hybrid model Prefect Cloud can work with any storage — all execution takes place on infrastructure you control, exactly the same as with Core or Server. Cloud is primarily an orchestration platform, not an execution platform.

@Jeremiah I tried getting in contact with your sales team about setting up a custom plan so I can use the task concurrency limit feature you mentioned, but i didnt manage to get a reply. Would you be able to put me in contact with someone that can help me with that?

@David Abraham Hey David, I sent the message via the contact form at https://www.prefect.io/get-prefect#pricing. I wouldve used my work email, not that connected to my Slack account, if that helps at all.
