What is Prefect?

Host Prefect yourself: self-hosted application that stays on your infrastructure. One-click deploy on Hostwares with SSL, backups and scaling when you need it. Self-hosting Prefect on Hostwares gives you a private instance on dedicated resources — CPU, RAM and NVMe you chose — with automatic HTTPS, backups and scaling when you need it. Unlike SaaS, your data stays on infrastructure you control.

What you get with managed Prefect

Every Prefect instance includes the Hostwares platform — not just the container.

One-click deploy

Prefect is provisioned, configured and started for you. No compose file to write, no ports to wire up — Hostwares pulls the prefect image and wires storage.

SSL included

Every Prefect deployment gets HTTPS automatically, on a free hostwares.app subdomain or your own domain with auto-renewing Let's Encrypt.

Dedicated resources

Prefect runs on the CPU, RAM and SSD of the pack you pick — not squeezed onto a shared box with everyone else. Resize when you need more.

Full container access

It is your container: exec into Prefect, read files, tail logs and set environment variables whenever you need to.

Status and logs

Start, stop and restart Prefect from the dashboard and read real container logs when something misbehaves.

Managed by HW

Ask our AI to deploy Prefect, change its settings or debug it — from the dashboard, the CLI, or Claude and Cursor over MCP.
