Prefect

Prefect turns Python functions into observable, schedulable workflows with minimal boilerplate. Add @flow and @task decorators to get retries, logging, caching, and a monitoring UI.

Installation

# Install Prefect
pip install prefect

# Start the local Prefect server (UI + API)
prefect server start
# UI at http://localhost:4200

# Or use Prefect Cloud (managed)
prefect cloud login
