csrf_protection_enabled
Controls the activation of CSRF protection for the Prefect server API.
When enabled (True), the server enforces CSRF validation checks on incoming
state-changing requests (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), requiring a valid CSRF
token to be included in the request headers or body. This adds a layer of
security by preventing unauthorized or malicious sites from making requests on
behalf of authenticated users.
It is recommended to enable this setting in production environments where the API is exposed to web clients to safeguard against CSRF attacks.

sqlite+aiosqlite:///file::memory:?cache=shared&uri=true&check_same_thread=false,
which will allow the database to be accessed by multiple threads. Note
