About this title

Synopsis

Pipelines can be challenging to manage, especially when your data has to flow through a collection of application components, servers, and cloud services. Airflow lets you schedule, restart, and backfill pipelines, and its easy-to-use UI and workflows with Python scripting has users praising its incredible flexibility. Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow takes you through best practices for creating pipelines for multiple tasks, including data lakes, cloud deployments, and data science.

 

Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow teaches you the ins-and-outs of the Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) that power Airflow, and how to write your own DAGs to meet the needs of your projects. With complete coverage of both foundational and lesser-known features, when you’re done you’ll be set to start using Airflow for seamless data pipeline development and management.

About the technology

Data pipelines are used to extract, transform and load data to and from multiple sources, routing it wherever it’s needed -- whether that’s visualisation tools, business intelligence dashboards, or machine learning models. Airflow streamlines the whole process, giving you one tool for programmatically developing and monitoring batch data pipelines, and integrating all the pieces you use in your data stack.
