How does this compare to Prefect? https://medium.com/the-prefect-blog/why-not-airflow-4cfa4232...

To be honest Prefect just got on my radar last week, so I will need to look at it more closely, I was not aware of them till then.

Obviously this is for JVM, plus I am not sure how Prefect addresses following two points I mainly focus on:

- make rapid prototyping of new steps possible during runtime, without any need to restart/redeploy

- focus on distributed processing, where in master-less Titanoboa cluster you can have pretty much any number of nodes

Prefect is like an hour just to put up the kubernetes environment required for it. The way you have it you can just do a simple docker run and start coding this is the comparison and you're coding on the web no need to steup VSCode or nothing it's fast.
