Can anyone explain to me why when deploying flows we need to run the command “prefect agent start …” locally.
I wonder how to run flow on prefect cloud without running local agent locally?
thanks all
You should be able to run the flow on its own by calling the function in a script and running the python file.
The agent is important if you want the flow to run on a schedule.
Here is a video that explains how local execution works in Prefect.
