@Marvin how can I profile tasks or flows on their memory consumption and execution time?

To profile tasks or flows in Prefect for memory consumption and execution time, you can use the following approaches: 1. Logging and Monitoring: Utilize Prefect's logging capabilities to capture execution time by logging timestamps at the start and end of tasks or flows. Prefect's API provides functions like
get_run_logger
to integrate logging within your tasks and flows. You can log the memory usage at various points using Python's standard libraries like
psutil
. 2. Custom Profiling: Implement custom profiling by wrapping your task or flow logic with memory and time profiling tools. Libraries like
memory_profiler
and
time
can be used to measure memory usage and execution time respectively. 3. Prefect Artifacts: Prefect offers artifact creation functions like
create_table_artifact
or
create_markdown_artifact
that can be used to store and visualize profiling data. For example, you might log memory usage and execution time to a table or markdown artifact for later analysis.
