Apache Airflow vs. AWS Data Pipeline

For a quick job scanning of status and deep-diving into job issues, details, and flows, AirFlow does a good job. No fuss, no muss. The low learning curve as the UI is very straightforward, and navigating it will be familiar after spending some time using it. Our requirements are pretty simple. Job scheduler, workflows, and monitoring. The jobs we run are >100, but still is a lot to review and troubleshoot when jobs don't run. So when managing large jobs, AirFlow dated UI can be a bit of a drawback.

AWS Data Pipeline is a web service that helps you reliably process and move data between different AWS compute and storage services, as well as on-premises data sources, at specified intervals. With AWS Data Pipeline, you can regularly access your data where it’s stored, transform and process it at scale, and efficiently transfer the results to AWS services such as Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon EMR.

• In charge of the ETL processes.
• As there is no incoming or outgoing data, we may handle the scheduling of tasks as code and avoid the requirement for monitoring.

Incentivized

• Helps you easily create complex data processing workloads
• Fault tolerant
• Highly available

Incentivized

• they should bring in some time based scheduling too not only event based
• they do not store the metadata due to which we are not able to analyze the workflows
• they only support python as of now for scripted pipeline writing

• Pipeline Stuck in Pending Status
• Pipeline Component Stuck in Waiting for Runner Status
• EMR Cluster Fails With Error

There are a number of reasons to choose Apache Airflow over other similar platforms- Integrations—ready-to-use operators allow you to integrate Airflow with cloud platforms (Google, AWS, Azure, etc) Apache Airflow helps with backups and other DevOps tasks, such as submitting a Spark job and storing the resulting data on a Hadoop cluster It has machine learning model training, such as triggering a Sage maker job.

AWS data pipelines are easy to use over data factory for data engineers

Incentivized

• A lot of helpful features out-of-the-box, such as the DAG visualizations and task trees
• Allowed us to implement complex data pipelines easily and at a relatively low cost
