❓ how do i speed up local development with the conda environment? i was previously using poetry and it was a lot faster before i realized that i'm constrained to conda for reproducible flows in AWS with step functions

hey Emily! For starters, how slow is slow, i.e. how long it takes roughly before it starts executing your tasks? Just to want to make sure it's behaving correctly

does it matter how many deps i have in

condabase

vs on a single step? i threw a lot of the deps in

condabase

out and i'm trying to only use

conda

on a single step. when i did that, it sped up.

larger environments take more time to set up, so having fewer dependencies can make it faster

now that i'm using

conda

and not conda base it is sub 5 seconds - that works for me, thanks

also make sure you are using

mamba

instead of

conda

and set

"METAFLOW_DEPENDENCY_RESOLVER": "mamba"

in your

~/.metaflowconfig/config.json

oh, i will fix the deps resolver! thanks!
