# Prefect

Prefect is a workflow orchestration platform for data, ML, and agent pipelines. Teams write workflows as plain Python functions with decorators, and Prefect handles scheduling, retries, state, and logging. The open-source Prefect framework is the engine that Prefect Cloud runs, and hybrid execution lets code run on the customer's own infrastructure.
