THE BIG PICTURE
What is Apache Airflow?
Apache Airflow is a workflow orchestration platform. Learn how workflows are represented, scheduled, monitored, and recovered with safe task behavior.
WHY LEARN THIS
- Represent workflow dependencies explicitly
- Reason about retries and recovery
- Make scheduled data work observable
PREREQUISITES
- Python fundamentals recommended
- Basic pipeline concepts are useful
