Hi y’all. Can folks tell me whether it’s necessary to know/learn all the ins and outs of Airflow before using Prefect? I’m fairly new to DAGs — I’ve only ever dabbled with Airflow in short video tutorials. Ideally, I would skip it entirely and just use Prefect at my current job, if the learning curve isn’t too steep and/or expects that you’ll understand all the Airflow-related things before using it. Thanks!

Thanks Dylan — glad to be here!

There’s no need to learn Airflow before diving into Prefect. We share some similar concepts but we’re pretty different in many areas. I encourage you to dig through our documentation and see if Prefect is right for you

and we’re here if you have any questions!
Happy Engineering 😄
