3.4.14 - Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

Released on August 21, 2025 New Features 🎉

• Environment Migration with prefect transfer Transfer your Prefect setup between backends with a single command! Idempotently migrate work pools, deployments, blocks, variables, and concurrency limits between self-hosted servers and Prefect Cloud. Check the Prefect dev log for more info!
• Parallel task execution with ProcessPoolTaskRunner This new task runner executes tasks in separate subprocesses and while maintaining run context so you get full observability while running in parallel. A great choice if you need parallelism, but aren’t ready to start using dask or ray. Check the PR for more info!
