# Prefect
Prefect is a workflow orchestration framework for building data pipelines in Python.
It's the simplest way to elevate a script into a production workflow.
With Prefect, you can build resilient, dynamic data pipelines that react to the world around them and recover from unexpected changes.
With just a few lines of code, data teams can confidently automate any data process with features such as scheduling, caching, retries, and event-based automations.
Workflow activity is tracked and can be monitored with a self-hosted [Prefect server](https://docs.prefect.io/latest/manage/self-host/?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=oss&utm_campaign=oss_gh_repo&utm_term=none&utm_content=none) instance or managed [Prefect Cloud](https://www.prefect.io/cloud-vs-oss?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=oss&utm_campaign=oss_gh_repo&utm_term=none&utm_content=none) dashboard.
> [!TIP]
> Prefect flows can handle retries, dependencies, and even complex branching logic
>
> [Check our docs](https://docs.prefect.io/v3/get-started/index?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=oss&utm_campaign=oss_gh_repo&utm_term=none&utm_content=none) or see the example below to learn more!
## Getting started
Prefect requires Python 3.10+. To [install the latest version of Prefect](https://docs.prefect.io/v3/get-started/install), run one of the following commands:
```bash
pip install -U prefect
```
```bash
uv add prefect
```
Then create and run a Python file that uses Prefect `flow` and `task` decorators to orchestrate and observe your workflow - in this case, a simple script that fetches the number of GitHub stars from a repository:
```python
from prefect import flow, task
import httpx
@task(log_prints=True)
def get_stars(repo: str):
url = f"https://api.github.com/repoExcerpt of 8,553 characters
