Prefect Community

Hi Guys, we are currently relying on Prefect 1.2 for some critical production ETLs. We are starting to discuss whether we should consider moving to Prefect 2.0. However, I can't find anything in the documentation related to an Imperative API, Do we still have one in Prefect 2.0?

There is done, and it’s also not really recommended for Prefect 1 because it’s harder to use for end users

Thanks Kevin for the clarification (I'm assuming you meant there is none :smile: ) , I agree that its harder to use with End Users, but it was a bit easier when using it to integrate prefect with some of our work.

I will start investigating how we can refactor our code to use functional API

Thanks again and good luck with your next move :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey <@U01QEJ9PP53> just had a follow up question as I'm still exploring the migration to 2.0 and trying to figure out how our code will work if we do decide to migrate. Can we:
• Can we use the Task class to create tasks and define their run function or do I have to use the @task decorater when defining tasks?
• Can we subclass the Task class? So we can add some extra attributes and functionality to a task that can then be used as the main class for any Task?
