Our take
Building and managing data pipelines can be extremely time-consuming and complex, especially at scale. Prefect solves this problem with its dataflow automation platform.
Prefect's platform is designed to help data engineers reduce failures and increase confidence in their pipelines. This has the potential to drive revenue and efficiency by an impressive margin. Although its tools are especially useful at scale, Prefect serves a wide range of customers, from SMBs to enterprises. In 2021, the company raised an impressive $32 million in funding, which is further testament to the value of its platform.
Workflow automation is an increasingly competitive market, and Prefect's main challenge will be competing with rivals such as Google. However, with companies like Adobe, NASA and Apple all signing on to use its services, Prefect shows no signs of slowing down.
