Hey there is this really nice end to end introduction by Laura on how to set up your execution layer on GCP live yesterday It comes with a companion guide Was very helpful to me slightly smiling face

Jorge · Answer

Awesome thanks

Jorge · Answer

That was really interesting So you need a dask instance that prefect cloud talks to I thought that would be included in the prefect cloud

Jorge · Answer

Or is that only if I want to use dask I m in very early days just trying to figure out if it fits my use case

nicholas · Answer

Nope that s only if you want to use dask < Jorge>

Jorge · Answer

Thanks for the info blush So is it correct to say that prefect cloud is a SAAS instance of prefect core Where I can run flows locally or use an executor to talk to something bigger like dask And prefect server is a part of prefect core additionally to the postgres graphql and other bits that get instantiated

nicholas · Answer

I think that s a fair characterization Prefect Cloud is a hosted and managed version of Prefect Server which also includes security and team centric tools like auth token management teams and team management audit trails and read only users

nicholas · Answer

If you re just getting started Prefect Cloud s free version is what I d recommend it really simplifies the process and lets you get started writing and executing workflows right away without worrying about server deployment and networking
