from : Airflow, Prefect, and Dagster: An Inside Look quote : "Dagster takes a first-principles approach to data engineering. It is built with the full development lifecycle in mind, from development, to deployment, to monitoring and observability. Prefect, on the other hand, adheres to a philosophy of negative engineering, built on the assumption that the user knows how to code and makes it as simple as possible to take that code and built it into a distributed pipeline, backed by its scheduling and orchestration engine." newbie comment : really agree with it, I find the seperation of concerns principle is strong in Dagster baby yoda (and I've already learned a lot just by losing myself in the documentation and people's code)
