Hello everyone! I have some big news: Prefect is acquiring Dagster Labs. 🎉 For years, Prefect and Dagster have pushed each other and the orchestration category forward. That competition produced two exceptional products and two of the strongest open-source communities in data engineering. Today, we’re bringing them together under one profitable company. Dagster and Dagster+ will continue as distinct products and brands, supported by many of the same people who built them. We’re committed to continued investment in Prefect, Dagster, and both communities. Nothing changes for anyone using either product today. Our ambition goes well beyond category consolidation. The next generation of automation starts with a fundamental question: how do you automate software that is, itself, autonomous? To answer it, we now have a fantastic portfolio that covers all the necessary components: 🎯 Dagster brings declarative outcomes and lineage 🚦 Prefect brings flexible and durable execution 🔐 FastMCP brings governed access to tools and data Together, they give us an extraordinary foundation for agentic orchestration and the new platform we aspire to build. This is a huge moment for Prefect, and we’re incredibly excited to welcome the Dagster community into the next chapter with us.
