@Marvin why does my fastapi server fail to start up after importing prefect and nothing else?

It seems you are experiencing an issue where your FastAPI server fails to start after importing Prefect. This problem doesn't appear to be widely reported in the Prefect GitHub issues. However, let's take a look at a few potential causes and solutions: 1. Import Verification: The import statement

import prefect

is verified and correct, so it shouldn't directly cause any issues. 2. Compatibility Issues: Sometimes, dependencies of Prefect can conflict with other packages. Ensure that your environment is using compatible versions of FastAPI and Prefect. You might want to check the versions of shared dependencies like

uvicorn

or

httpx

. 3. Environment Isolation: Make sure you are using a virtual environment to isolate dependencies. This can prevent conflicts between package versions. 4. Error Logs: Check the error logs when starting your FastAPI server. They might provide more clues about what is going wrong. 5. Minimal Example: Try running a minimal example with just FastAPI and Prefect to see if the issue persists. This can help isolate the problem. For further investigation, you might want to look into the specific error message you receive when the server fails to start. This could provide more direction on how to resolve the issue. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to the Prefect community or support for more targeted assistance.
