Prefect Community

Hi, Prefect 1.0 user here. Is there a notion of work queues? I saw the Prefect 2.0 offers that, but I would need something similar in 1.0 (a work queue and a worker pool that executes jobs from the queue).

Hey <@U0310N05RPG>!! There is not a concept of work queues in 1.0 (<https://discourse.prefect.io/t/whats-the-role-of-agents-and-work-queues-and-how-the-concept-of-agents-differ-between-prefect-1-0-and-2-0/689|see here> for some differences between agents and work queues in 1.0 vs. 2.0). In general, agents in 1.0 are responsible for scheduling work in your execution environment. There are different <https://docs-v1.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/overview.html#agent-types|types of agents> that can schedule work in your execution environment. I have found this article to be helpful in describing the 1.0 <https://medium.com/the-prefect-blog/the-prefect-hybrid-model-1b70c7fd296|hybrid execution environment> for Prefect.
