The RUN_ID variable contains a cryptographically secure ID associated with each run of your project. This is automatically generated when you use prism run or prism spark-submit.
The SLUG variable contains a slug for each run of your project. Note that the SLUG is not cryptographically secure, but it much more human-readable than RUN_ID. It is automatically generated when you use prism run or prism spark-submit.
Your run's SLUG is displayed in the logs when you run your project:
$ cd my_first_project
$ prism run

In the above example, vermilion-hornet-Gyycw4kRWG is your run's SLUG.
Important: if your prism_project.py file does not have a RUN_ID or SLUG, then Prism will throw an error. Make sure these are defined.
