Press questions
What is Prefect?
Prefect is a workflow orchestration platform for data, ML, and agents. You write workflows as plain Python, and Prefect runs them durably in production with scheduling, retries, caching, and recovery as part of the platform rather than code you maintain. The open-source framework and Prefect Cloud share the same core engine.
How is Prefect different from Airflow?
Prefect differs in three key ways. Workflows are plain Python functions that can branch, loop, and create tasks at runtime, rather than DAGs declared upfront. Durable execution is built into the engine, so retries, state, and crash recovery are not code you write. With Prefect Cloud there is no scheduler for your team to host, upgrade, or maintain.
Do I have to run any infrastructure?
No, you don't have to. Prefect Serverless runs flows on managed compute, so you can start with zero infrastructure. Teams with stricter security requirements use the hybrid model where lightweight workers inside your environment run your code where your data already lives, while the control plane handles scheduling and visibility.
Is Prefect open source?
Yes. The Prefect framework is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, and it is the same engine Prefect Cloud runs. Cloud adds the managed control plane, enterprise authentication, and scale on top; it does not fork the framework.
Can my coding agent write Prefect workflows?
Yes. A Prefect workflow is ordinary Python with two decorators, so any coding agent that writes Python can produce a working flow, add retries, and deploy it without learning a DSL. Your engineers review and own the result, and the same applies to humans: if you can write a Python function, you can ship a Prefect flow.
