In this chapter, you’ll gain a complete introduction to the components of Apache Airflow and learn how and why you should use them.

Introduction to Apache Airflow

Testing a task in Airflow

Examining Airflow commands

Airflow DAGs

Defining a simple DAG

Working with DAGs and the Airflow shell

Troubleshooting DAG creation

Airflow web interface

Starting the Airflow webserver

Navigating the Airflow UI

Examining DAGs with the Airflow UI

Intro to Airflow

What’s up DAG? Now it’s time to learn the basics of implementing Airflow DAGs. Through hands-on activities, you’ll learn how to set up and deploy operators, tasks, and scheduling.

Airflow operators

Defining a BashOperator task

Multiple BashOperators

Airflow tasks

Define order of BashOperators

Determining the order of tasks

Troubleshooting DAG dependencies

Additional operators

Using the PythonOperator

More PythonOperators

EmailOperator and dependencies

Airflow scheduling

Schedule a DAG via Python

Deciphering Airflow schedules

Troubleshooting DAG runs

Implementing Airflow DAGs

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to save yourself time using Airflow components such as sensors and executors while monitoring and troubleshooting Airflow workflows.

Airflow sensors

Sensors vs operators

Sensory deprivation

Airflow executors

Determining the executor

Executor implications

Debugging and troubleshooting in Airflow

DAGs in the bag

Missing DAG

SLAs and reporting in Airflow

Defining an SLA

Defining a task SLA

Generate and email a report

Adding status emails

Maintaining and monitoring Airflow workflows

Put it all together. In this final chapter, you’ll apply everything you've learned to build a production-quality workflow in Airflow.

Building production pipelines in Airflow

Agora atualizado para o Apache Airflow 2.7 — Entregar dados em um cronograma pode ser um processo manual. Você escreve scripts, adiciona tarefas cron complexas e tenta várias formas de atender a requisitos que mudam o tempo todo — e gerenciar tudo isso fica ainda mais difícil trabalhando em equipe. O Apache Airflow resolve esse problema ao adicionar agendamento, tratamento de erros e relatórios aos seus fluxos de trabalho. Neste curso, você vai dominar o básico do Apache Airflow e aprender a implementar pipelines complexos de engenharia de dados em produção. Você também vai aprender a usar Grafos Acíclicos Dirigidos (DAGs), automatizar fluxos de trabalho de engenharia de dados e implementar tarefas de engenharia de dados de forma simples e reproduzível — ajudando você a manter a sanidade.
