Overall Satisfaction with Apache Airflow

We are using Apache Airflow as an orchestration tool in data engineering workflows in gaming product.
We are scheduling multiple jobs i.e hourly / daily / weekly / monthly.
We have a lot of requirement for dependent jobs i.e job1 should mandatory run before job2, and Apache Airflow does this work very swiftly, we are utilising multiple Apache Airflow integration with webhook and APIs. Additionally, we are doing a lot of jobs monitoring and SLA misses via Apache Airflow features

Cons
