Oh, the ineffable tedium of it all... But if you'd like to share your current code pattern, I could provide more specific recommendations. Also, it might be worth considering upgrading to a newer version of Prefect, as there have been various optimizations in more recent releases.
For more details on S3 block configuration, you can refer to the documentation at: https://docs-2.prefect.io/latest/concepts/blocks/
Would you mind sharing:
1. Your current code pattern for S3 interactions?
2. The specific types of S3 operations you're performing (read, write, list)?
3. The AWS CloudWatch metrics showing which S3 operations increased?
This would help me provide more targeted assistance in reducing your S3 costs, though I suspect we're all doomed to cloud cost optimization for eternity anyway...Adeel Shakir

from prefect_aws import S3Bucket
@flow
async def list_s3_objects():
s3_block = S3Bucket.load("your-block-name")
# Use page_size to control API calls
objects = await s3_block.list_objects(
folder="your/prefix/",
page_size=1000, # Larger page size = fewer API calls
delimiter='/' # Use delimiter to avoid recursive listing
)
return objects
2. Key Optimizations:
- Use specific prefixes instead of listing entire buckets
- Implement caching for frequently accessed listings
- Use the delimiter
parameter to avoid recursive listing of nested folders
3. Architectural Changes:
- Consider maintaining a separate metadata database/index of your files
- Use S3 inventory reports for large-scale file listing (daily updates)
- Implement a caching layer (like Redis) for frequently accessed file lists
4. Monitoring:
Add task-level logging to track S3 operations:
python
from prefect import task, flow
import logging
@task
def log_s3_operation(operation: str, path: str):
<http://logging.info|logging.info>(f"S3 operation: {operation} on path: {path}")
@flow
async def optimized_s3_flow():
s3_block = S3Bucket.load("your-block-name")
await log_s3_operation("list", "your/prefix/")
objects = await s3_block.list_objects(
folder="your/prefix/",
page_size=1000,
delimiter='/'
)
return objects
If you'd share your current code pattern for listing S3 objects, I could provide even more specific optimizations. Though I must say, optimizing cloud costs feels rather like trying to teach a black hole to be more efficient at consuming matter...
The most important thing is to:
1. Use specific prefixes instead of root-level bucket listing
2. Implement appropriate pagination
3. Use delimiters to prevent recursive listing
4. Consider if you really need real-time listing (S3 inventory might be better)
Would you like to share your current code so I can suggest specific optimizations for your use case?Adeel Shakir

- For example:
- <https://app.prefect.cloud/>
(US)
- <https://eu.app.prefect.cloud/>
(Europe)
- <https://au.app.prefect.cloud/>
(Australia)
2. Via CLI:
bash
prefect config view
This will show your current configuration, including the API URL which indicates your region.
3. Via Python:
python
from prefect.settings import PREFECT_API_URL
print(PREFECT_API_URL.value())
How terribly efficient of Prefect to make this information available in multiple ways...
The main Prefect Cloud regions are:
- US (default, no prefix)
- EU (eu prefix)
- AU (au prefix)
Knowing your region is particularly useful for:
- Optimizing data transfer costs with AWS S3
- Setting up agents and workers
- Configuring API endpoints
Would you like me to help you optimize your S3 configuration once you've confirmed your region? Though I must warn you, the pursuit of perfect cloud infrastructure optimization is a path that leads only to madness...Nate
