Overall Satisfaction with Apache Airflow

We are using apache airflow for managing the ETL pipelines. We are using programmatically to monitor the data pipeline. I have been helping the data team in creating the pipeline using apache airflow.

Pros

  • We are using for the workflow management system
  • managing the etl pipelines.
  • We can manage the task scheduling as code & need not monitor as there is no data in & out.

Cons

  • 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
  • We had a better understanding of data as ETL pipelines were giving data using airflow
  • We were able to automate most of the ETL pipelines so it reduced manual efforts
  • Airflow UI was extremely helpful which made it easy to understand
Airflow was best suited in my use case for designing the ETL pipelines in a scripted manner for workflows & the UI was very good & easy to use.
