Workflow orchestration framework for building data pipelines in Python.
Workflow activity is tracked and can be monitored from a Prefect (self-hosted or cloud-managed).
Allows building and scheduling workflows in pure Python, to then run them anywhere.<br/>
Designed to handle retries, dependencies, branching logic, dynamic workflows, modern infrastructure, and data pipelines'
complexity.<br/>
Handles automatic state tracking, failure handling, real-time monitoring, and more.
