The 5-Year Data Payoff: Why Clearcover Keeps Building on Prefect's Pythonic Foundation
Blog post from Prefect
Clearcover, an auto insurtech company founded in 2016, has successfully utilized Prefect, a Python-based data orchestration tool, to manage its data pipelines and business processes for over five years, emphasizing accessibility and simplicity. Initially, the company struggled with AWS-specific tools, which were challenging for non-specialists, leading them to adopt Prefect for its ease of use and integration capabilities. Prefect enables Clearcover to maintain a resilient data infrastructure with features like a five-minute rollback for data recovery and the automation of front-office tasks via Slack. This setup allows a small team to efficiently manage complex operations, ensuring data reliability and compliance while reducing infrastructure costs. By contributing to open-source integrations like DbtShellTask, Clearcover has developed a custom CI/CD process, demonstrating the flexibility and innovation possible with Prefect, which has become a cornerstone of their data strategy.
