To Debug a DAG: The Airflow local dev story
Channel: Apache Airflow
Date: 2023-10-29

Presented by Daniel Imberman at Airflow Summit 2023.

As much as we love airflow, local development has been a bit of a white whale through much of its history. Until recently, Airflow’s local development experience has been hindered by the need to spin up a scheduler and webserver. In this talk, we will explore the latest innovation in Airflow local development, namely the “dag.test()” functionality introduced in Airflow 2.5. We will delve into practical applications of “dag.test()”, which empowers users to locally run and debug Airflow DAGs on a single python process.
