Apache Airflow

A workflow orchestrator for scheduling and monitoring tasks with explicit dependencies.

Why we recommend it

Choose it when recurring data jobs need a shared schedule, execution history and a clear view of failures.

When to choose it

  • Data imports, reporting pipelines and scheduled batch processing.

What to consider

  • It works best with mostly stable workflow structures. Production needs suitable workers and a supported database; SQLite is for testing.

Start with this project

Model one scheduled pipeline with dependencies, then test retries and rerunning a failed step without duplicating results.
