Hybrid architecture
Your code and data never leave your infrastructure
Separation of orchestration and execution means Prefect Cloud coordinates workflows without ever accessing your code or data. Workers poll via outbound-only connections—no inbound access to your network required.
No code or data egress from your environment
Deploy on Kubernetes, ECS, Docker, or serverless
Workers poll for work—no inbound network access
