Prefect-managed work pools in beta and more!

A low murmur rumbled through the crowd, reverberating and echoing as the sound built into a roar.

It can't be true, can it?

The roar continued to build into a cacophony, a wall of noise.

There it is! Prefect-managed work pools!

Prefect can now execute your code for you

Today we are making Prefect-managed work pools in beta. Deploy a flow with a Prefect-managed work pool, and Prefect will execute your code for you on your behalf at no charge. Free accounts get 10 hours of runtime monthly, while Pro accounts get 250 hours of runtime per month.

Use a managed work pool to get into production with extreme speed: no messing with infrastructure or your own cloud account, just deploy and go. With Prefect workers, there is no lock-in trap: you can take your Prefect-managed flow and transition it to any infra (serverless in your account, k8s, you name it) just as quickly when you're ready to manage the execution yourself.
