Trust your data workflows- Resilient by design, from script to scale
In our data-driven era, trust is the bedrock upon which every decision, insight, and product rests. While companies once fixated on ensuring the integrity of data warehouses and ETL pipelines, this focus has shifted as the warehouse has become increasingly commoditized.

Today, business value is created in an ever-expanding long tail of custom, data intensive workflows that span diverse use cases from personalized customer experiences, to fraud detection, to dynamic pricing. Data teams face a relentless challenge to automate an expanding set of bespoke processes, navigate risk from more potential points of failure, while building scalable data practices.

Prefect provides workflow orchestration for the modern data enterprise. With just a few lines of code, data teams can confidently automate any data process with clear visibility. Prefect's resilient workflows minimize the cost of failure through the ability to roll back errors to a clean state. And the platform drives efficiency by generalizing safe patterns and reducing redundancies.

By automating over 200 million data tasks monthly, Prefect empowers diverse organizations — from Fortune 50 leaders like Progressive Insurance to innovative disruptors like Cash App — to increase engineering productivity, reduce pipeline errors, and cut data workflow compute costs.
