@Marvin Is there a way to debug python code of a flow running on a remote server, or python (pydbg) debugging is only available with an ephemeral setup

Debugging a Prefect flow running on a remote server can be a bit more involved than working locally. Prefect doesn't inherently support remote debugging directly through its API, but you can use some general strategies to achieve this: 1. Remote Debugging Tools: You can use Python remote debugging tools such as

pydbg

or

pdb

to attach to a remote process. This requires setting up your remote server to allow debugging connections, which can be complex and might involve security considerations. 2. Logging and Monitoring: Prefect provides robust logging and monitoring capabilities. You can use these to trace the execution of your flow and identify issues. Make sure your logging is set up to capture sufficient detail to help with debugging. 3. Local Simulation: If possible, simulate the remote environment locally. This can be done by replicating the environment using containers or virtual machines. Prefect's ephemeral setup might help here by allowing you to run a local server that mimics your remote setup. 4. Profiles and Configurations: Prefect allows the use of profiles for different environments. You can configure different settings for your local and remote environments, making it easier to switch and test configurations that might be causing issues remotely. For more details, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on remote execution and settings and profiles. If you have specific debugging needs or configurations, let me know, and I can try to assist further.
