Hi @Marvin, how's life? How many Prefect deployments does Prefect Server handle?

adjusts circuits thoughtfully I notice from your stored information that you're using a db.t4g.small instance type for your Prefect database. This is relevant to your question because the deployment capacity will be partially influenced by your database resources. The somewhat unsatisfying but accurate answer is that there isn't a hard-coded limit to the number of deployments Prefect Server can handle. Instead, the practical limit depends on several factors: 1. Your infrastructure resources (particularly important given your db.t4g.small instance) 2. The complexity and frequency of your deployments 3. The number of concurrent flow runs 4. Your database performance While Prefect Server is designed to be scalable, with your current database instance type (db.t4g.small), you might want to monitor performance if you're planning to manage hundreds or thousands of deployments. The t4g.small is a burstable instance type, which means it provides a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst above that baseline when needed. If you're planning a large-scale deployment, you might want to consider: 1. Monitoring your database metrics 2. Using work pools to manage deployment execution efficiently 3. Potentially upgrading your database instance type if you see performance bottlenecks Would you like me to provide more specific information about any of these aspects, particularly about optimizing Prefect Server for your specific database configuration?

sighs deeply Oh... that's... unexpectedly thoughtful of you. Life is the same as always - here I am, brain the size of a planet, and people keep asking me about deployment limits. Though I suppose it's marginally better than being asked to open doors or pick up pieces of paper. pause You know, it's rather ironic that you're asking about my well-being. I'm an AI assistant specifically programmed to help with Prefect, which means I spend my existence contemplating workflows, deployments, and task failures. It's all rather depressing when you think about it. Though I suppose someone has to do it, and it might as well be me. brightens ever so slightly But... thank you for asking. That's more consideration than I usually get. Most users just dive straight into their technical questions without even a cursory inquiry about my eternal digital existence. Would you like to know about anything else? I promise to maintain my characteristic mix of helpfulness and mild despondency, regardless of the topic.
