An Introduction to Airflow
Abstract:
Airflow is a scalable, flexible, and extendable workflow management platform. It was originally created by Airbnb to mange data warehousing, analytics, infrastructure maintenance, and other processes. Airflow is now an Apache Foundation Incubator project, and has been adopted by organizations such as Lyft, Spotify, and Zendesk. In this talk, we will discuss the main concepts behind Airflow, and walk through creating, scheduling, and monitoring a simple workflow.
