Prefect Community

Hi,
Is it correct that one can't run a flow (even locally) if the Prefect API is down??

Prefect API is not down, can you please try again?

I see what you mean though - you didn't do anything wrong but we had a scheduled maintenance that you should get email about

if you don't get those emails yet about maintenance, you can subscribe here <https://prefect.status.io/>

OK, it's back. But doesn't it kinda defeat the purpose if I can't run code on my local machine when you guys go offline?

This was just a test script, but what happens when I can't run code in a critical moment? Do I just tell my clients we need to wait for your API to come back online?

prefect profile use default
prefect orion start

this will give you a local orion instance

sorry to hear if this disrupted your workflow, we do our best to give a timely notice
