@Marvin I have created a deployment for my flow, and have pointed the source to a remote git repo. When I create a process worker, how does it acquire the flow code for it to run?

When you create a deployment in Prefect and point the source to a remote Git repository, the process worker retrieves the flow code directly from that repository. This is part of Prefect's support for remote code storage, which includes options like Git-based storage, cloud storage, and Docker images. To achieve this, you typically use the

flow.from_source

method to specify the location of your flow code, which can be a URL to a Git repository. The process worker will then access this repository to acquire the flow code when executing the deployment. Here are some relevant resources for you: - Storing Flow Code - Deploying via Python If you have further questions or need more specific examples, feel free to ask.

@Marvin What would be the basic requirements to start a process worker for my flow?

To start a process worker for your flow in Prefect, you need to ensure the following basic requirements are met: 1. Work Pool Creation: First, create a work pool to manage and provision the infrastructure for your flow runs. This is done through the Prefect UI or CLI. 2. Worker Type: Use the

process

worker type, which executes flow runs in subprocesses. This type does not require any additional package installations. 3. Authentication: Authenticate to Prefect Cloud using the CLI if you're using Prefect Cloud for orchestration. 4. Worker Start: Start the process worker by running it from a terminal. It will poll the work pool for any flow runs to execute. 5. Environment Compatibility: Ensure that your environment can execute subprocesses, which is typically straightforward on most systems.
