It allows Prefect workflows to execute tasks in parallel across Ray clusters, enabling horizontal scaling of compute-intensive workloads. The package depends on both prefect and ray as runtime dependencies, meaning you need both libraries installed and configured to use it effectively.\n\nTypically used when you have Prefect workflows that need to run tasks in parallel on multiple machines or cores, or when you want to leverage Ray's distributed computing capabilities within a Prefect-orchestrated pipeline. The integration handles the bridge between Prefect's task model and Ray's execution model.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using Prefect and need distributed task execution. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no licensing restrictions, and supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. Install it when you have Prefect workflows that would benefit from Ray's parallel execution and you have Ray infrastructure available."},"id":"prefect-ray","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/prefect-ray","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/prefect-ray.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/prefect-ray/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"prefect-ray","python_support":"capped_below_current","summary":"Prefect integrations with the Ray execution framework."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":143073,"position":11184,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.0"}
