PRESENTATIONS

Talk #1: What's New in Airflow 3.1

• Speakers:
• Ash Berlin-Taylor, Director of Airflow Engineering at Astronomer & Airflow Committer & PMC Member
• Brent Bovenzi, Senior Frontend Engineer at Astronomer & Airflow Committer & PMC Member

Airflow 3.1 is here, bringing new features and enhancements that make orchestration faster, more flexible, and easier to manage at scale. In this session, we’ll walk through the most impactful changes in 3.1, including improvements to the user experience, DAG management, and core functionality. Whether you’re running Airflow in production or just getting started, you’ll leave with a clear picture of what’s new, why it matters, and how to take advantage of it.

Talk #2: Creating DuoFactory: An Orchestration Ecosystem with Airflow

• Speaker: Belle Romea, Software Engineer at Duolingo

Duolingo has built an internal tool DuoFactory to orchestrate AI generated content using Airflow. The tool has been used to generate example sentences per lesson, math exercises, and Duoradio lessons. The ecosystem is flexible for various company needs. Some of these use cases contain end to end generation where one click of a button generates content in app. We also have created a Workflow Builder to orchestrate and iterate on generative AI workflows by creating one-time DAG instances with a UI easy enough for non-engineers to use.
