PRESENTATIONS
Talk #1: Airflow + AI : Orchestrating the Intelligent Stack- Speaker: Shrividya Hegde, Airflow Champion & Sr. AI Data Engineer
In this session, we'll explore how Apache Airflow — the battle-tested orchestration platform already running in your data stack — has evolved to become a first-class runtime for AI workloads. We'll dig into the six hardest problems of AI orchestration (reliability, cost control, provider lock-in, human oversight, observability, and integration complexity) and show exactly how Airflow and the new apache-airflow-providers-common-ai package address each one.
You'll leave understanding how Airflow's durable execution model eliminates wasted API spend on retries, how HookToolset turns 350+ existing provider hooks into AI agent tools with zero new authentication setup, how built-in Human-in-the-Loop review gates bring enterprise governance to agentic workflows, and why Airflow's provider-agnostic connection layer lets you switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, and 20+ other models without touching a single DAG.
We'll also compare Airflow's approach to alternatives like LangChain, CrewAI, Prefect, and AWS Step Functions — and make the case that Airflow isn't competing with AI frameworks; it's the production floor they should run on.
Talk #2: Airflow for AI workloads
- Speaker: Vikram Koka, Chief Strategy Officer at Astronomer & Airflow Committer & PMC Member
