@Marvin how do I create a work pool with a concurrency limit in prefect.yaml?

To create a work pool with a concurrency limit in Prefect, you need to configure it using the Prefect CLI or through the Prefect API. Unfortunately, the
prefect.yaml
file itself doesn't directly support setting concurrency limits. However, you can manage concurrency through the CLI or API. Here's a brief guide on how to set a concurrency limit using the Prefect CLI: 1. Set a Concurrency Limit: You can use the following command to set a concurrency limit on a work pool:
Copy code
bash
   prefect work-pool set-concurrency-limit <work-pool-name> <limit>
2. Clear a Concurrency Limit: To remove the concurrency limit, you can use:
Copy code
bash
   prefect work-pool clear-concurrency-limit <work-pool-name>
For more detailed information, you may refer to the Prefect documentation on work pools. If you're interested in programmatic control, you can also use the Prefect API to set concurrency limits with the
PrefectClient
. You can explore the relevant methods under the
prefect
module, specifically using the
get_client
function to interact with the API. For the top-level API, Prefect provides functionalities like
flow
,
task
,
State
, and
get_client
that might be useful for managing your workflows programmatically.
