Custom runtimes allow for installing arbitrary packages and dependencies in the runtime of your workflow. Runtimes in floww are built on top of Docker images so they are fully customizable.
To use a custom runtime, you will have to create a Dockerfile that installs the dependencies you need.
When running floww deploy, the Dockerfile will automatically be built and used for the deployment.
The Dockerfilewill be used when deploying the workflow but not when running floww locally.
