Say Hi to Prefect Discourse — a New Forum for Data Engineers

Why we chose Discourse and how you can benefit from this new Prefect Community forum

We're excited to announce that we have launched Prefect Discourse! Discourse is a forum for online communities that provides an unmatched level of flexibility and customization. Going forward, we will use Discourse as a knowledge base that we can grow together as a community. It's a safe place to ask any questions about Prefect and workflow orchestration and share your knowledge with others. You can expect a wealth of tutorials, frequently asked questions, code examples, blog posts, announcements, troubleshooting tips, and in-depth technical discussions. Sign up today on discourse.prefect.io.
