Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> are push workpools allowed on self hosted

:white_check_mark: thought for 112.0 seconds

Short answer: No. In Prefect 3.x, push (serverless) work pools are a Prefect Cloud–only feature and are not available on self-hosted Prefect Server.

- What they are: Push/serverless pools let Cloud submit runs directly to services like ECS, ACI, Cloud Run, Modal, and Coiled without a worker.
- Docs: <https://docs.prefect.io/v3/how-to-guides/deployment_infra/serverless|Push (serverless) work pools — Cloud-only>

Self-hosted alternatives (require running a worker):
- Process work pools: <https://docs.prefect.io/v3/how-to-guides/deployment_infra/manage-work-pools|Manage work pools>
- Docker work pools: <https://docs.prefect.io/v3/how-to-guides/deployment_infra/docker|Docker work pools>
- Kubernetes work pools: <https://docs.prefect.io/v3/how-to-guides/deployment_infra/kubernetes|Kubernetes work pools>

If you’re aiming for “push-like” behavior on self-hosted, the common approach is to run a worker (process/docker/k8s) and have it launch jobs on your infra. Happy to help you choose the best option for your environment.
