a better way to phrase the question might be - is there a way to do cron-like flow executions on a kubernetes cluster with just the open source version? My understanding is 'no' (which is fine!), but just wanted to check

Hi @yuvipanda! Your understanding is correct - the scheduling either occurs in a stateless way in-process (when only using the open source package) or within Prefect Cloud in a stateful way

right. so if I have notebooks that need to be run on a schedule, I can spin up a job / container with them running, and redeploy whenever the notebook changes

yup that’s accurate! Let me know if you’d like access to Cloud and I can set you up

will do! I will check in with the team and get back here! Thanks for a cool product / service!

Sounds good - thanks for the support!

@Chris White Hey I’d like to follow up on @yuvipanda discussion and find out more about prefect cloud. Who should I talk to?

Hi @Dharhas Pothina! I can get you set up with a free, single-user Prefect Scheduler account right away if you DM me your e-mail address. For our paid multi-user “platform” tiers, you can email

<mailto:kyle@prefect.io|kyle@prefect.io>

and CC myself (

<mailto:chris@prefect.io|chris@prefect.io>

) and just mention this conversation

We are evaluating prefect for deployment for a couple of clients. I’d like to chat about how the pricing structure works and things like that. let me know the appropriate person to talk to about those kind of questions. Fro reference Yuvi and I are part of Quansight (https://www.quansight.com/)

Ok great - in that case, send Kyle an email and he can share all that info with you!
