Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

hello! I'm evaluating prefect in place of airflow - heard only good things so am here to test it out as a ETL pipeline!
How do I get started if I'd like to deploy exclusively on docker? Does it still require python on host machine to run? Thanks and looking forward to this!

Hi <@U025N1E131D>, yes it would require Python because you would need the Prefect agent running on the host machine and that needs Python. I would go through the tutorial, and then specifically look for the <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/flow_config/run_configs.html#dockerrun|DockerRun> and <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/docker.html#requirements|DockerAgent> docs.
