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

<@U02H1A95XDW>, hi Anna, I have non-tech question, do you have any materials/articles about main ideas under development Prefect 2.0? why it was created, what problems &amp; gaps team tried to solve with it?

Sure!

The last one best describes the initial problem Prefect 1 tried to solve around dataflow, and the first one describes both dataflow and everything around it (a broader product vision for Prefect 2)
