PRESENTATIONS
Talk #1: The State of Apache Airflow® 2026
Apache Airflow® continues to thrive as the world’s leading open-source data orchestration platform, with 30M downloads per month and over 3k contributors. 2025 marked a major milestone with the release of Airflow 3, which introduced DAG versioning, enhanced security and task isolation, assets, and more. These changes have reshaped how data teams build, operate, and govern their pipelines.
In this session, our speaker will share insights from the State of Airflow 2026 report, including:
- Latest trends in how teams are using Airflow today
- What’s next for the project and ecosystem
- A discussion of emerging best practices and evolving use cases
Join us to hear directly from a leader in the community and discover how to get the most out of Airflow in the year ahead.
Talk #2: Building the Apache TinkerPop Provider for Airflow
- Speaker: Ahmad Farhan, Data Engineer
Graph databases are powering everything from recommendation engines to fraud detection, but integrating graph operations into modern data pipelines has often required custom code and workarounds. Earlier this year, Ahmad built a new Apache TinkerPop provider for Airflow, making it easier than ever to orchestrate Gremlin queries, manage graph workloads, and connect Airflow to TinkerPop-enabled systems.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- What the TinkerPop provider does and why it matters for graph-based workloads
- How to run Gremlin queries and manage graph jobs directly within Airflow
- Real examples from the development process, including design decisions and lessons learned
- How this provider opens the door for new use cases in graph analytics and data engineering
Join us to explore how Airflow and TinkerPop can work together to streamline graph workflows and unlock new patterns in modern data pipelines.
