A successful pipeline moves data efficiently, minimizing pauses and blockages between tasks, keeping every process along the way operational. Apache Airflow provides a single customizable environment for building and managing data pipelines, eliminating the need for a hodgepodge collection of tools, snowflake code, and homegrown processes. Using real-world scenarios and examples, Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow teaches you how to simplify and automate data pipelines, reduce operational overhead, and smoothly integrate all the technologies in your stack.
about the technology
Data pipelines manage the flow of data from initial collection through consolidation, cleaning, analysis, visualization, and more. Apache Airflow provides a single platform you can use to design, implement, monitor, and maintain your pipelines. Its easy-to-use UI, plug-and-play options, and flexible Python scripting make Airflow perfect for any data management task.

Required Reading for a Complex Product
December 24, 2023 by KY6R (OR, United States)
“If all you read is the first 5 chapters plus the "best practices" chapter - you will learn a few things you never knew about Apache Airflow - even if you have been using it for years as I have. This book also discusses V1 vs. V2 and areas where you need to be mindful.
Apache Airflow has been a great scheduler, but it has a steep learning curve - with no "guardrails". You can get into trouble with it fast - and I would make this book required reading for anyone new to Airflow.”
