Instead of building a deployment, you can now simply run:

bash
prefect deploy

from your project directory that contains the

prefect.yaml

file. The command will use the configuration in your

prefect.yaml

to create the deployment. If you want to specify a specific flow, you can do:

bash
prefect deploy ./path/to/file.py:flow_name

This new approach is more straightforward and integrates better with the project-based workflow in Prefect 3.x. If you're currently using Prefect 2.x and seeing the

prefect deployment build

command in documentation or examples, I'd strongly recommend: 1. Upgrading to Prefect 3.x for the latest features and improvements 2. If you need to stay on 2.x, consider using workers instead of the build command, as they provide a more robust deployment mechanism Would you like me to provide more details about the deployment process in Prefect 3.x or help you with upgrading from 2.x?
