Run prefect

Note

Prefect uses a hybrid model whereby the orchestration components are separated from the execution ones.

This means that it is possible to use a hosted prefect server (i.e. prefect cloud) for the orchestration and use your own infrastructure (local, cloud, docker, k8s) for execution. This ensures your data stays private.

In order to take full advantage of pygeoapi-prefect, you will need to run (or have access to) both the following prefect components:

• prefect server - This is the main component of prefect's orchestration layer. It features web user interface which can be used to monitor flow run execution. It can be run either on your own infrastructure or on prefect cloud. For example, in order to launch it locally:

  prefect server start
  

The web UI will now be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:4200

• prefect agent - This must be running on your infrastructure
