Hey all, Heeje here. I'm a data engineer at Illumina and my group and I will be evaluating Prefect over the next few weeks so I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions. I come from an Airflow background but I've been hearing a lot about Prefect Core and Orion so i'm excited to explore!

Welcome!

Hi @Heeje Cho! Welcome to Prefect!

Hi @Heeje Cho! We are looking forward to working with you as you evaluate Prefect!

Welcome Heeje! Let us know how things are going and if we can help.

Is there a built in way to extend custom classes I write? In Airflow for direct comparison you can put custom operators in the plugins folder. I'm thinking I could always sneak it into prefect.tasks root folder and import it like i would with other library tasks. Mainly thinking of ways for other members of my team to use task libraries I write in the future with a direct import

With Prefect, you own your own execution environment. So you need to “sneak it in” in both registration environment and execution environment (the machine that runs the flow). Really though, it’s best practice to add them in a container and then use that container for your flow

Makes perfect sense thank you

Welcome @Heeje Cho 👋
