Thanks for the welcome My main question is how to move flows over from v1 to v2 incrementally The prefect library on v2 is not compatible with v1 so the only way I can see to do it is create a new conda virtual env Problem with that is that while migrating we will have to maintain two envs2 the old and new and keep these in sync apart from the prefect library Is there a better way to achieve this

Jeff Hale · Answer

It might be helpful to build a staging environment to build and test out V2 flows Then flip the switch to send the v2 flows live when you know things are working well and you can avoid having to migrate in parts I m not sure how frequently your flows run and if that setup makes sense for you but it might be an option
