Prefect has announced Prefect Serverless, a fully managed compute platform that allows for infrastructure-free workflow execution within Prefect Cloud, addressing the needs of teams that require quick and reliable workflow management without the complexities of infrastructure setup. This new offering builds on the success of Prefect 3.0, which saw a massive increase in adoption, and complements Prefect's existing hybrid execution model. Prefect Serverless is designed for teams that either lack dedicated platform engineering resources or prefer to focus on workflow creation rather than infrastructure management. It offers features such as immediate deployment, effortless scaling, usage-based pricing, and enterprise-grade security with minimal configuration. Prefect Cloud users can choose between the hybrid model, which offers complete control over compute environments, and the serverless model, or use both depending on their specific needs, thereby providing flexibility and catering to a broad range of organizational requirements.
