<@ULVA73B9P> which python version should I use for the running of the server? 3.13 or 3.14?

:white_check_mark: thought for 102.1 seconds

For *Prefect 3.x server*, I’d recommend *Python 3.13*.

*Why:*
- *3.13 and 3.14 are both supported* by Prefect 3.x
- But *3.13 is the safer choice* for running a server in production because it has had longer ecosystem maturity
- *3.14 support was added more recently*, so unless you specifically need 3.14, 3.13 is the more conservative pick

So the short answer is:

*Use Python 3.13.*

If you want, I can also help you check this against:
- your *Prefect version*
- your *deployment method* (Docker, Helm, bare server, etc.)
- whether you’re running *Prefect Server* or *workers/flows* separately
