Prefect Summit 2025 Dev Day repo

This is the repository that accompanies the Prefect Summit 2025 talks.

Setup

Use the Python virtual environment manager of your choice. We suggest using uv because it's fast and relatively quick to set up, but feel free to use your preferred tool. The examples below show uv. Ensure you have exited out of any other virtual environments before following the instructions below.

Download the repository and navigate to the directory

git clone https://github.com/PrefectHQ/dev-day-zoom-out.git
cd dev-day-zoom-out

Install uv (if needed)

For macOS/Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh  

For Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

For troubleshooting, see the uv installation guide.

Create and activate a new virtual environment

Create a virtual environment with Python 3.12.

uv venv --python 3.12

You should see a note that the virtual environment was created successfully and instructions for how to activate it. Follow the instructions to activate the virtual environment.

source .venv/bin/activate

You should now see the virtual environment name in parentheses in your terminal prompt.

Install Prefect and the other Python packages you'll use during Dev Day

uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Connect to Prefect Cloud

For some of the examples, you'll need to connect to Prefect Cloud.

If you don't already have a Prefect Cloud account, sign up for a free account at app.prefect.cloud.

If your command line is not already authenticated with Prefect Cloud, authenticate with

prefect cloud login
