Overview

Looking for the latest Prefect 2 release? Prefect 2 and Prefect Cloud 2 have been released for General Availability. See https://docs.prefect.io/ for details.

This is a Quick Start guide to help you get a basic Prefect flow registered and running on one of our Prefect Cloud or Prefect Core server orchestration layers.

Because it is a foundational part of running a flow, this guide includes an overview of what is needed to get started with Prefect Core. If you already have a solid understanding of Prefect Core and want to move on to orchestration, go straight to using Prefect Cloud or Prefect Core server.

If you want to run a simple flow and have no need (yet) for an API or UI, then check out our core docs.

Once you've gone through the basic tutorial, we encourage you to find out more about Prefect concepts by reading Thinking Prefectly and looking at our other resources.
