Everyone who codes can save time by reusing configuration — whether for logging in to cloud providers or databases, spinning up Docker containers, or sending notifications. The Prefect open source library provides you with blocks - sharable, reusable, and secure configuration with code. Blocks can be created and edited through the Prefect GUI or Python code, allowing for easy collaboration with team members of all skill levels.
In this talk you will learn how you can use the Prefect open source library to quickly create reusable blocks. Blocks give you superpowers for secure collaboration.This talk will be fun and informative. There will be code, concepts, and probably a few puns.Software engineers, data engineers, and data scientists who access APIs, move data, or work with a range of technical and non-technical stakeholders.
