Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> when using prefect in a lambda function. Can the Prefct URL be self hosted? For example, HTTP://(EC2-IP):4200/api?

Yes, you can self-host a Prefect server and use it with AWS Lambda. You can set up a self-hosted Prefect server on an EC2 instance, and configure it to be accessible via an IP address like `http://&lt;EC2-IP&gt;:4200/api`. The Prefect Python SDK can communicate with this self-hosted server, similar to how it communicates with Prefect Cloud.

For more details on self-hosting, you can refer to the <https://docs-3.prefect.io/v3/manage/self-host|Prefect self-hosting documentation>. It outlines how to start a Prefect server using the `prefect server start` command, and you can configure it to run on your EC2 instance.

If you need to integrate this with AWS Lambda, ensure your Lambda function has network access to the EC2 instance hosting the Prefect server, possibly by configuring the necessary security groups and VPC settings.

Feel free to ask if you need more specific guidance on setting up the server or integrating it with Lambda.

Do you know what could be casuing timeouts in this case?
