Prefect
ORCHESTRATION
Prefect is an open-source workflow orchestration platform for building, scheduling, and monitoring data pipelines in Python. It lets data teams turn ordinary functions into observable, resilient workflows with dynamic scheduling, automatic retries, and rich monitoring, without the heavy configuration of traditional orchestrators.
Prefect + MotherDuck
Prefect integrates with MotherDuck by orchestrating DuckDB and MotherDuck operations as tasks and flows within its Python-native workflows. You store your MotherDuck token in Prefect's secret manager, connect from within a flow using the DuckDB Python library, and validate with a small query before scheduling larger jobs. This lets teams run repeatable ingestion, transformation, and export pipelines against MotherDuck, combining Prefect's flexible scheduling and observability with MotherDuck's serverless DuckDB analytics.
