“Pythonic decorators for workflow orchestration. No DAGs to configure — just Python functions with retries and caching.”
“Easier to learn than Airflow and the Python-native approach means less boilerplate. Good free cloud tier.”
“Python-native orchestration is more natural for data teams. Prefect and Dagster represent the post-Airflow era.”
