What Prefect does
Prefect Prefect is a workflow automation tool designed for data engineering, machine learning, and background task orchestration. It helps teams build, run, and monitor complex data pipelines easily using Python code. Prefect stands out by offering durable execution and automatic retries, ensuring your workflows complete reliably without rerunning costly tasks. It's great for scaling data processes from local experiments to thousands of parallel runs, managing event-driven automation, and unifying microservices workflows. You can start seeing value quickly because you run your existing Python scripts with minimal changes, just by adding decorators. Prefect fits neatly into your tech stack as an orchestration engine, coordinating data workflows between databases, ML models, and other tools like dbt or cloud platforms. It is not designed as a data storage system or a business intelligence
