Prefect is often preferred when you need quick deployment and ease of use, particularly for teams that are new to orchestrating workflows or need a lightweight solution for managing tasks. For example, if a team is looking to build and monitor ETL pipelines quickly without extensive configuration, Prefect would be an ideal choice.
Flyte is particularly beneficial when you need a robust system for managing complex workflows that require strict type checks and version control. For example, if you're developing a data pipeline that involves multiple teams and requires clear workflows with strict data typing, Flyte can help enforce these rules while also providing a scalable solution with Kubernetes support.
