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

"Apache Airflow is easy to use and can monitor task execution easily. For instance, when performing setup tasks, you can conveniently view the logs without delving into the job details."
"Apache Airflow's best feature is its flexibility."
"The best feature is the customization that can be done using Python."
"I would rate Apache Airflow from one to ten points overall as ten points, which means it is a very good solution."
"Since the solution is programmatic, it allows users to define pipelines in code rather than drag and drop."
"Since it's widely adopted by the community, Apache Airflow is a user-friendly solution."
"Apache Airflow can be integrated or used to run multiple files."
"Designing processes and workflows is easier, and it assists in coordinating all of the different processes."
"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
 

Cons

"Running frequent jobs, such as every minute or five minutes, is not appropriate for Airflow. It is not suitable for real-time ETL tasks."
"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 could be improved with the addition of more frameworks."
"One area for improvement would be to address specific functionalities removed in recent updates that were previously useful for our operations."
"The automation capabilities could be improved; a visual workflow designer and a graphical tool to reduce coding would be very helpful. But for now, it's sufficient for our simple workflows."
"The scalability of the solution itself is not as we expected. Being on the cloud, it should be easy to scale, however, it's not."
"The solution could be improved by simplifying the integration process."
"There is a minor issue with the manual work in Airflow, as everyday activities are managed manually."
"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for the product is reasonable."
"Apache Airflow is a free solution that can be downloaded and ready for use at any moment."
"It is an open-source tool. There are no additional fees or charges associated with the product."
"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."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"The solution is free if you use Amazon AWS."
"Apache Airflow is a cheap solution."
"It's open-source."
