Hybrid Execution

Your data never leaves your infrastructure

Workers poll Prefect Cloud's API—no inbound connections to your network. Your workflows execute in your environment with direct access to your databases and secrets. We store only metadata: run history, logs, and scheduling state.

Event-driven Automation

React to anything

Trigger workflows from webhooks, cloud events, or state changes. Prefect's active event bus detects what happens (or doesn't happen) in real-time, so you can stop polling and start acting.

Native Data Lineage

See what your pipelines actually produce

Know which tables, files, and models are up to date—and which aren't. Trace failures back to their root cause. Understand the blast radius before you deploy. Built-in dbt integration means your existing models show up automatically.

Cox Automotivecase-study

We don't have to manage the infrastructure around orchestration, and converted our existing Python code quickly to gain observability and retries. As for the UI, management uses it to see the health of our data pipelines and do ad-hoc runs.

Director of Planning Analytics

Cash Appcase-study

We took all the Prefect features and designed an architecture that really works for our infrastructure provisioning and our organization.
