Prefect Community

Hi there what’s the best practice for passing database parameters into the prefect flows? I have a flow that I want to connect to different DBs (alpha/beta/prod), should I just use the Parameter mechanism for this?

Parameter would work and then you load the appropriate secret from your secret store maybe?

Yeah, understood - yes, that’d be appropriate, thank you!

The flows run on an EC2 instance that will have permissions to decrypt and voila
