Case Study: Rent the Runway streamlines data orchestration with Prefect

Rent the Runway orchestrates 1,800 dbt models with Prefect

Rent the Runway, a designer clothing rental service, faced unique data challenges stemming from its complex operations, which included inventory tracking, warehouse logistics, and customer behavior analysis. To power its sophisticated data infrastructure, the company required a robust and flexible orchestration solution from vendor Prefect, using Prefect for workflow management alongside dbt for transformation.

The solution implemented by Prefect served as the universal orchestrator for Rent the Runway's nearly 1,800 dbt models. This integration automated data ingestion from sources like Google Sheets, enforced data quality tests, and enabled critical monitoring that proactively alerted teams to issues. The result was a reliable, scalable, and observable data operation that handled complex business requirements while maintaining high data quality.
