Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

I am on prefect 1.0 core and would like to be able to set a max number of tasks running concurrently.  I see that cloud has task run limits, but how can I get to the same goal with core?

The goal is to limit how much a mapped task is hitting a database.  So this is to limit a task within a given flow run

I don’t want to slow down the rest of the flow just for this

Concurrency limit in Prefect 1 is a cloud only feature. Might be a good motivator for you to migrate to prefect 2 where concurrency limits are available in the core OSS library.

Ok.  We need to migrate anyway. Can you post a link to the relevant documentation page?
