Selamat!

Controlling Dag Logic

Kini diperbarui ke Apache Airflow 3.1.6 - Menyajikan data sesuai jadwal sering kali merupakan proses manual. Anda menulis skrip, menambahkan tugas cron yang kompleks, dan mencoba berbagai cara untuk memenuhi persyaratan yang terus berubah—dan akan makin rumit saat harus mengelola semuanya bersama rekan kerja. Apache Airflow dapat menghilangkan kerumitan ini dengan menambahkan penjadwalan, penanganan galat, dan pelaporan ke alur kerja Anda. Dalam kursus ini, Anda akan menguasai dasar-dasar Apache Airflow dan mempelajari cara menerapkan pipeline rekayasa data yang kompleks di lingkungan produksi. Anda juga akan mempelajari cara menggunakan Directed Acyclic Graphs (Dag), mengotomatisasi alur kerja rekayasa data, serta menerapkan tugas-tugas rekayasa data dengan cara yang mudah dan dapat diulang—membantu Anda tetap terkendali.
