Airflow vs Prefect, NVIDIA GTC 2025 Golden Ticket, $53 Billion on AI, Gartner Orlando

Airflow VS. Prefect

Airflow has been great, but its rigid DAGs and operational headaches make scaling tough. Prefect changes that—dynamic workflows, better observability, and no Celery/K8s Executor pain.

📢 Join the upcoming webinar to learn directly from the Prefect team about making the transition smoothly.

🔹 Why Switch?

• No more static DAGs—flexibility wins.

• Python-first, event-driven orchestration.

• Easier to scale without the usual bottlenecks.

🔹 How to Migrate

• Convert DAGs to Prefect flows.

• Replace Airflow Operators with Prefect tasks.

• Move seamlessly, no downtime.
