What advice do you have for others considering Astro by Astronomer?

Astro by Astronomer is very consistent and reliable 99% of the time, although sometimes it lags. Overall, the reliability has been very good. Once a DAG is configured and tested, the output is consistent because Astro by Astronomer ensures tasks are executed in the correct order and respects dependencies. I would recommend Astro by Astronomer to organizations that already use or are planning to use Apache Airflow for workflow orchestration, especially if they want a managed solution instead of maintaining Airflow themselves. I gave this product a rating of 8 out of 10.

All the features are readily available and Astro by Astronomer's user interface itself is quite intuitive. All developer problems and engineer problems are addressed by them very quickly. I would rate this review a 7 out of 10.

For me, it was how Astro by Astronomer was able to create a deep tree folder structure because when I used to create some DAG with Gemini and with Copilot, they were not able to go deeper on how configuration files could be created and what type of operator they should use. With Astro by Astronomer, it was able to create the right path for every file and also to use the best operator based on the version that I provided. I used to work with Copilot integrating in Visual Studio Code, and I used to work with Gemini as well before using Astro by Astronomer. Also, because in the last month I tried Claude and I love using Claude code integrating with Visual Studio Code. I think that if they developed something very similar that you can integrate into your IDE, it would be a huge jump into the competition with Claude and other AI companies.

If you want a one-stop solution for your orchestration, I think Astro by Astronomer is the best place to look. The overall product experience is quite good. The customer support is good. You should definitely check out Astro by Astronomer. I would rate this solution an 8 out of 10.

I haven't explored the governance and security facet of Astro by Astronomer's AI capabilities thoroughly, so I couldn't speak on it. I don't use the AI component of Astro by Astronomer, so I can't comment on its accuracy and reliability of output. Astro by Astronomer is not deployed by my administration. It is a local instance that I have used. My advice to others looking into using Astro by Astronomer is to follow the tutorial videos and watch the supplemental learning material. It's very useful. I have no additional thoughts about Astro by Astronomer before we wrap up. I gave Astro by Astronomer a rating of eight out of ten.

Astro by Astronomer also has an AI editor, but using all these agents right now does not make any significant impact. It is a nice feature to have but not important. I do not have much experience with Astro by Astronomer's AI capabilities, but regarding governance and security, I think you can easily find these in some other agents, so I am not sure. I find Astro by Astronomer's AI capabilities to be still pretty basic, and for complex tasks, they need work. However, the user has to be very specific about what they need, creating a trade-off between describing exactly what you want and getting exactly what you need. I advise others looking into using Astro by Astronomer to have a POC first. I rated this product 8 out of 10.

Regarding Astro by Astronomer's AI capabilities, I have not used its AI features, but I can use it and make sure it works fine. My advice for others looking into using Astro by Astronomer is that it is a really good tool. Everyone can use it and they can try using it first on their personal laptops and then, if they think that it is useful, they can use it in their day-to-day work. I would rate this product as an 8 out of 10.

I believe there are definitely many commendable features that work very well, but there are many areas of improvement as mentioned previously. I believe day by day, as those improvements come and are available, this platform will continue to get better and better. Regarding Astro by Astronomer's AI capabilities, I think governance and security are important because I am not using much of the AI capability at this moment due to security and governance concerns. I am very careful about how to use that specific service, and I am trying to learn more. I have many open questions for the Astronomer team to understand that specific area. I believe the accuracy of Astro by Astronomer's AI capabilities is pretty good. In terms of accuracy, depending on the required prompt, a better prompt gives a better result. That helps me get closer to the development target. As accuracy is definitely not 100 percent, I can see developers saying they are getting 70 to 75 percent accuracy, and that is definitely helping with the reliability of the output. My advice to others looking into using Astro by Astronomer is that I would definitely recommend it. I would recommend Astro by Astronomer to organizations that rely heavily on Apache Airflow workflows and want a production-ready managed platform. It is very valuable for medium to large enterprises or data engineering teams that prioritize delivery. Astro by Astronomer is doing a great job. I believe my relationships with this platform will continuously grow as my services grow. I am looking forward to integrating and leveraging the AI service and capability with Astronomer. I would rate this platform a 7 out of 10.
