**We're back at Salisbury House for our summer London Airflow Meetup! Join fellow members of the data engineering community for an evening of engaging talks, great food and drinks, and exclusive swag!** **PRESENTATIONS** ***Talk #1: The Orchestration Layer: A Blueprint for Scaling Dynamic DAGs with Integrated Data Quality Gates*** * **Speaker**: [Vasudev Maduri](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vasudevmaduri/), Staff Data Engineer, Admiral Group Plc Ensuring high-quality data, accuracy, completeness, and schema validity is essential for building data trust. However, scaling data quality checks across diverse datasets often leads to duplicated boilerplate Python code, human error, and a massive bottleneck for Data Engineering teams. In this talk, we’ll explore how to shift data quality from a backlog of tech debt into an automated, self-serve developer experience directly tied to Airflow. We will demonstrate how to build a multi-faceted data observability framework that empowers end-user teams to define their own DQ rules without writing any Python code. By hiding complex Airflow code, users simply select their parameters—YAML configurations that instantly translate into fully dynamic, end-to-end DAGs, including in-flight data quality gates. The core of this session focuses on the technical implementation of integrated DQ checks that live directly *inside* the generated pipelines. You’ll learn how this metadata-driven approach enables a "shift-left" strategy for data observability, automatically enforcing data contracts and routing alerts without manual engineering intervention. ***Talk #2: Self-healing Data Pipelines in Airflow*** * **Speaker**: [Nilesh Khandalkar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nileshskhandalkar/), Senior Manager, Capgemini Modern data pipelines remain largely reactive—failures trigger alerts, manual retries, and ongoing operational overhead for engineering teams. As systems scale, this approach introduces fragility, delays, and growing complexity in maintaining reliable workflows. This session explores how to design self-healing data pipelines in Airflow using practical patterns such as intelligent retries, conditional branching, and targeted recovery mechanisms. Real-world failure scenarios are used to illustrate how pipelines can detect issues, trigger remediation steps, and resume execution without full restarts or human intervention. The session also looks ahead to how AI-assisted anomaly detection can further enhance these systems by identifying unexpected patterns and enabling more proactive, resilient data workflows. ***Talk #3: What We Got Right (and Wrong) Building a 50-Source Data Platform on Airflow*** * **Speaker**: [Arnaud Caldow](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnaud-caldow-384423142/), Senior Data Engineer at Collibra Collibra helps enterprises govern their data, but how does Collibra's own data team manage the data that powers the business? The answer is an Airflow-based platform that stitches together dlt, dbt, Kubernetes and Collibra's own product for governance -- all orchestrated through 87 DAGs serving 12 business domains. This talk traces a data point's journey through the stack: from API extraction via dlt pipelines running inside KubernetesPodOperator pods, through a layered dbt architecture where platform engineers standardize data and analysts build business models on top, into analytics outputs that serve multiple business teams, and finally back into Collibra Data Governance via reverse-ETL integration DAGs. Along the way, I'll share the patterns that emerged from operating this at scale: how we evolved from one-off custom pipelines to a reproducible framework that's documented well enough for AI subagents (or a new hire) to generate models from scratch, how our own Pod Operators let us test feature branches on shared environments, and how we're leveraging that same mechanism to migrate from Redshift to BigQuery (and from Airflow 2 to Airflow 3) without downtime. Behind the scenes, a 1Password-backed pipeline diffs credential hashes nightly, catching rotations before they break a DAG. **AGENDA** * **5:30-6 PM:** Arrivals, networking, food & drinks * **6-7:45PM:** Presentations * **7:45-8PM:** Networking

**Next events:** **📅 6th June & 1st August 2026** **🕑 1:30pm to 5:30pm** **📍 The Station Master, Marylebone (New venue! 🔔 😁)** **What is Daisy?** Daisy is a neuroinclusive, relaxed, low pressure afternoon where you meet people one at a time. This event is ticketed and open to the public Everyone gets a short profile on our app, so when you sit down with someone new & scan their QR code you can see a bit about them before you start talking. At the end of the chat you can discreetly indicate who you’d like to stay in touch with on the app, and there’s also a separate box if you felt something sparky. Only mutual interests are revealed, so no awkwardness. If you prefer old school, there’s a paper format too. **Neuroinclusive** Conversation cards are at each table so you don’t have to worry about your mind going blank. Lots of people use them as a backup rather than relying on them throughout, but they’re there if you need them. We have hosts to look after you & a quiet area to decompress (with adult colouring in) Professional compère The event is professionally hosted by a compère, and there will also be individual hosts facilitating, guiding, and supporting throughout. Every ticket includes a welcome drink token, and there’s a raffle on the day where you can win a drink for you and someone else at the event. **What’s new?** For those who have been before, here’s what’s changed: We have a brand new venue, The Station Master in Marylebone, one min from the station. You can order food there, which wasn’t possible before, and during the breaks there’s pool, giant Jenga, and Digital Darts if you fancy it. We’re still using the app which got a lot of good feedback but it has been refined so it’s compatible with all the phone models We removed the group bells last time after feedback, and people much preferred having individual timers. This time the timers are sand timers on the table rather than on the app, a gentle, low pressure way to indicate it’s time to move on. Activities during the break & mixer - digital darts, pool, giant jenga & colouring Paper forms for those who prefer to go old school **Welcome drink token as part of the ticket price** **Tickets🎫** **Daisy6June.eventbrite.com** **Daisy1Aug.eventbrite.com** **JOIN OUR COMMUNITY ON [CLYX](https://link.clyx.app/7xCe/daisy_connections) FOR MORE INFO AND TICKETS.** **Copy and paste url if link doesn't work:** https://link.clyx.app/7xCe/daisy_connections

**Fabric Data Warehouse with Tino Tereshko** For our June meetup, we’re excited to welcome Tino Tereshko, Partner Director of Product at Microsoft, responsible for Fabric Data Warehouse.
