Prefect just bought Dagster, another big Airflow rival — and it’s not a data pipeline story

Prefect acquired Dagster, a rival to Airflow, in a deal not focused on data pipelines. This acquisition strengthens Prefect's position in workflow management. Engineers should monitor Prefect's future developments to understand the impact on their workflow management tools. The acquisition's focus on broader workflow management suggests a shift away from data pipelines. Engineers should consider how this change may affect their current workflows.
