Apache Airflow is an open-source platform for authoring, scheduling and monitoring data and computing workflows. First developed by Airbnb, it is now under the Apache Software Foundation. Airflow uses Python to create workflows that can be easily scheduled and monitored. Airflow can run anything—it is completely agnostic to what you are running.
Benefits of Apache Airflow include:
Ease of use—you only need a little python knowledge to get started.
Open-source community—Airflow is free and has a large community of active users.
Integrations—ready-to-use operators allow you to integrate Airflow with cloud platforms (Google, AWS, Azure, etc).
Coding with standard Python—you can create flexible workflows using Python with no knowledge of additional technologies or frameworks.
Graphical UI—monitor and manage workflows, check the status of ongoing and completed tasks. Learn more in our detailed guide about DevOps vs MLOps.
