Just out of curiosity, is there an official release date for prefect 2.0? 🙂 I’m aware of the public beta, but when is stable estimated to be released?

Why are you asking? Is it a blocker for adoption in your team? We can't provide any concrete date as of today

We are heavily using prefect 1.0 and migrating will be a large-ish effort (new agents, re-writing flows, etc.). We’d prefer to do this when the API is mostly stable so we cut down on the amount of re-work required down the line.

There shouldn't be any breaking changes in the basic building blocks such as a task, flow or DeploymentSpec, so you may start migrating some workflows over. The "beta" is mostly to indicate that e.g. some internal implementations such as API routes may change but the UX of running and building flows is already stable enough to start migrating some workflows

That’s good to know! 🙂 thanks. Am I correct in assuming that for us to migrate we would have to; 1. deploy new prefect UI 2. deploy new prefect docker agents (we’re using docker runconfig today) 3. re-write our flows to be prefect 2.0 compliant 4. run our flows ?

Do you consider Cloud 2.0 or do you want to self-host everything?

We are currently self-hosting ✌️ and will likely keep it that way due to sensitivity of the data we process.

When it comes to sensitivity, Prefect uses a hybrid execution model - thus, it never sees your code or data. On top of that, Prefect is SOC-2 compliant, so if this is the only concern, you may still consider Cloud 2.0

Will keep that in mind 🙂 thank you

regarding self-hosting, we have currently an example here of how you may self-host to Kubernetes which is super convenient regarding the components: • SQLite or Postgres DB • Orion server with various orchestration services (REST APIs) • an agent - a single agent can deploy flows to various infrastructures, no need for multiple infrastructure-specific agents in 2.0

Ok! 🙂 that helps a lot. Thank you

Not to beat a dead horse here - but is there any more insights into when 2.0 will become GA? Is there a specific Q being targeted? I’m asking because we’d like to start using this in prod in a month or two if our trials go well, and I’ve seen copy stating 2.0 isn’t prod-stable yet. Any advice here? Thanks!

yes, in the same doc https://discourse.prefect.io/t/should-i-start-with-prefect-2-0-orion-skipping-prefect-1-0/544
