Open workflows have simplified data ingestion and curation but still need better UI and scheduler resilience
I think there could be improvements or enhancements in Apache Airflow in terms of having a better UI experience. The UX can be done a bit better. The web interface of Apache Airflow has helped me in tracking and troubleshooting since I'm operational and part of the operational side of Apache Airflow. Mostly, I go into the logs of the web server and scheduler to check what's happening in the back-end instead of looking at the front-end. The UI can give errors related to pipelines, but it can be more improved if we get errors related to import errors and scheduling errors. These areas can be improved. Other than a better UI experience, I would want to see improvements in the scheduler. Sometimes, for user-made mistakes, the scheduler goes down. I experienced this issue and I'm not sure whether it got fixed right now or not. If a user is building a data pipeline in Apache Airflow and a user makes a mistake in their code, that makes the scheduler go down and eventually Apache Airflow goes down. That is not what is expected. If that gets fixed, then it can do wonders.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I worked on a project at a leading German bank for two years, successfully migrating large applications with hundreds of jobs."
"The best part of Airflow is its direct support for Python, especially because Python is so important for data science, engineering, and design. This makes the programmatic aspect of our work easy for us, and it means we can automate a lot."
"This is a simple tool to automate using Python."
"The best feature is the customization that can be done using Python."
"Development on Apache Airflow is really fast, and it's easy to use with the newer updates. Everything is in Python, so it's not hard to understand. They also have a graphical view, so if you are not a programmer and you are just an administrator, you can easily track everything and see if everything is working or not."
"The solution's UI allows me to collect all the information and see the code lines."
"Every feature in Apache Airflow is valuable. The number of operators and features I've used are mainly related to connectivity services and integrated services because I primarily work with GCP."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Airflow is creating and scheduling jobs. Additionally, the reattempt at failed jobs is useful."
"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
 

Cons

"Apache Airflow could be improved by integrating some versioning principles."
"There is a need for more features on experimental evolution steps."
"Apache Airflow could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"There is an area for improvement in onboarding new people. They should make it simple for newcomers. Else, we have to put a senior engineer to operate it."
"The stability and reliability of Apache Airflow cannot be praised as a great reliable application, but for small-scale solutions and small-scale use cases, we can always rely on Apache Airflow."
"The platform's stability needs improvement, particularly regarding occasional interruptions due to networking issues."
"The restarting part or rerunning specific tasks in Apache Airflow is somewhat confusing for users because it does not directly say restart or replay."
"Apache Airflow should have better integration with cloud platforms."
"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use a community edition of Apache Airflow. It is open source and free."
"We are using the open-source version of Apache Airflow."
"Although Airflow is open source software, there's also commercial support for it by Astronomer. We personally don't use the commercial support, but it's always an option if you don't mind the extra cost."
"Apache Airflow is open-source and free. Hyperscalers like Google (with Composer), Azure, and AWS offer managed Airflow services."
"The solution is cheap."
"The pricing for the product is reasonable."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"It is an open-source tool. There are no additional fees or charges associated with the product."
