Turn scripts into reliable, automated workflows.
Prefect lets you build automated workflows that handle your most important data tasks — from pulling reports to processing files to running machine learning models. You write the logic, and Prefect takes care of scheduling, retrying failures, and showing you what happened in a clean dashboard.
What makes Prefect worth launching.
See every workflow, its status, and detailed logs in one clean interface — no digging through error messages.
If a step fails, Prefect can automatically retry it so a temporary hiccup doesn't derail your entire process.
Run workflows on a recurring schedule — daily at 9 AM, every hour, or on specific days of the week.
Get alerts and see live updates as your workflows run, so you always know what's happening.
Start workflows automatically when something happens — like a new file arriving or an API sending data.
Break complex processes into individual steps and track exactly which part ran, how long it took, and whether it succeeded.
If you fit one of these, Prefect is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Prefect makes a real difference.
Have Prefect pull data from your database, run calculations, and email a PDF report to your team every morning — automatically.
Watch a folder or cloud storage for new uploads, then trigger a workflow that validates, transforms, and loads the data.
Schedule model training, evaluate performance, and deploy updated models — with automatic retries if something goes wrong.
Move data from one app to another on a schedule, with built-in error handling so nothing gets lost.
Prefect is a workflow orchestration platform that helps you automate anything you do with data. Whether you're a data analyst refreshing daily reports, a data scientist training models, or an engineer moving data between systems, Prefect makes it easy to turn your Python scripts into reliable, scheduled workflows. You add a simple label to your code, and Prefect handles the hard parts — scheduling, retries, error alerts, and progress tracking. The result is a visual dashboard where you can see every workflow, check if it succeeded or failed, and dig into what happened. Teams at companies like NASA, Cash App, and WHOOP use Prefect to run thousands of automated processes every day. With over 22,000 stars on GitHub and 400+ contributors, it's one of the most trusted open-source tools for data automation.
Prefect is the go-to tool for teams who need to automate data workflows without the complexity. Instead of manually running scripts or building fragile chains of cron jobs, you get a visual dashboard that shows you the health of every process. Data teams love it because it works with plain Python — there's no new language to learn, no complex config files. It handles failures gracefully, retries automatically, and gives you full visibility into what's running. Whether you're refreshing a dashboard, processing customer data, or training a model, Prefect makes your workflows reliable and easy to manage.
