Apache Airflow Reviews

Apache Airflow Description

Airflow is a community-created platform that allows programmatically to schedule, author, and monitor workflows. Airflow is modular in architecture and uses a message queue for managing a large number of workers. Airflow can scale to infinity. Airflow pipelines can be defined in Python to allow for dynamic pipeline generation. This allows you to write code that dynamically creates pipelines. You can easily define your own operators, and extend libraries to suit your environment. Airflow pipelines can be both explicit and lean. The Jinja templating engine is used to create parametrization in the core of Airflow pipelines. No more XML or command-line black-magic! You can use standard Python features to create your workflows. This includes date time formats for scheduling, loops to dynamically generate task tasks, and loops for scheduling. This allows you to be flexible when creating your workflows.
