Millions of people wake up and trust their @WHOOP recovery score. That only works if the data behind it is right, every time. WHOOP runs thousands of jobs a day on terabytes of data. Prefect keeps it reliable.
Carlos Peralta and Peter Belanger (WHOOP) played a round with Thomas Egbert and Zach Angell (Prefect) to talk about what "data-driven" really takes and why the best tools work quietly in the background.
This Saturday I'm giving a keynote at @PyData London!
I'm excited to spend time with such an amazing group of data practitioners.
Also, it's been too long since I was in London, so I'm hanging around the following week to see our @PrefectIO community and customers too.
Hack Monty 2 is live!
$10,000 bounty, sponsored by us, @PrefectIO, and @HuggingFace.
Same target: escape the Monty sandbox and read the secret.
Have fun. Break it harder.

Operating a massive media engine spanning from global podcasts to college affiliate networks is no easy task.
We caught up with Senior Data Engineer, Jason Damiani, from @barstoolsports to talk about how they migrated their data orchestration to Prefect Cloud.
Some of their results in the ๐งต
- 4x scale to easily handle 3 to 4 times the original number of data flows.
- 30-minute latency giving leadership near real-time views during events like Black Friday.
- Automated retries with built-in alerting that eliminated daily troubleshooting.
Full story below ๐
Founder and CEO of Prefect. Creator of FastMCP (25k stars on GitHub). Father of four. Jeremiah Lowin @jlowin also ships more code than most full time engineers.
Radhika Gulati @radhigulati took him on a walk to ask HOW?
Jeremiah talks about his five Claudes running in parallel.
The shorthand he built so the output is predictable.
A system for keeping track of all of it.
Episode 4 of our walk-and-talks with the team building Prefect.
New headshots from the Prefect team, dropping today. Scientists call it the Pre-effect: a glow-up that kicks in once you join. Cause: immediate exposure to workflow automation. Effect? Undeniable.
Meet the keynote speakers of PyData London 2026!

Teams like @hnicorporation are using Prefect and Snowflake together to orchestrate critical data pipelines for analytics and AI.
With Prefect and Snowflake, teams can:
- Orchestrate data, ML, APIs, and external services in a single workflow
- Connect AI agents to Snowflake and the rest of the business with FastMCP and Horizon
- Adopt Prefect directly through Snowflake Marketplace using existing Snowflake commitments
NOW That's What I Call Orchestration! ๐ฟ
Introducing the Prefect Launch Collection. 11 new Prefect features, all available now. Some of the hits include:
- Managed Automations (no more zombie runs)
- Config Plugins (pip-install your environment)
- Workspace Personalization (only see what's yours)
- Infrastructure Debugging (see OOMs in the UI)
- Assets Explorer (look up an asset and its history)
- ...and 6 more
Just delivered "Build your first MCP server in Python" tutorial at #PyConUS!
Packed house, great Qs.

We are taking the wheel... of your dbt DAG.
In the demo below, see how the new Prefect dbt Orchestrator reads your project and runs it model-by-model.
Watch how to:
- plan the DAG into parallel waves for faster execution
- retry individual nodes so one failure doesn't stop runs
- use persistent caching to skip work and save compute
Demo and resources in the ๐งต
Friends don't let friends re-run unchanged SQL.
Itโs Day 2 of launch week and today we're launching the Prefect dbt Orchestrator.
Every model, seed, test, and snapshot runs as a Prefect task. Caching, per-node retries, and the same alerting your other Prefect work uses.
4. dbt inherits Prefectโs orchestration primitives
The same caching, retries, alerting, and visibility you use for Prefect flows now apply to dbt workloads.
