The challenge

Prefect, a data workflow orchestration company, had a small data team that risked spending months building a data quality solution from scratch.

The solution

Prefect adopted Monte Carlo for out-of-the-box data observability, monitoring, and incident management.

Monte Carlo really is a big cornerstone of our data quality at Prefect.
