This presentation gives an overview of the Apache Airflow project. It explains Apache Airflow in terms of it's pipelines, tasks, integration and UI. <br> <br>Links for further information and connecting<br><br>http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Frampton/e/B00NIQDOOM/<br><br>https://nz.linkedin.com/pub/mike-frampton/20/630/385<br><br>https://open-source-systems.blogspot.com/<br>

What Is Apache Airflow ? ● A work flow management platform ● Uses Python based work flows ● Schedule by time or event ● Open source Apache 2.0 license ● Written in Python ● Monitor work flows in UI ● Has a wide range of integration options ● Originally developed at Airbnb
What Is Apache Airflow ? ● Uses SqlLite as a back end DB but can use – MySQL, Postgres, JDBC etc ● Install extra packages using pip command – Wide variety available, includes – Many databases, cloud services – Hadoop eco system – Security, web services, queues – Many more
Airflow Pipelines ● These are Python based work flows ● Are actually directed acyclic graphs ( DAG's ) ● Pipelines use Jinja templating ● Pipelines contain user defined tasks ● Tasks can run on different workers at different times ● Jinja scripts can be embedded in tasks ● Comments can be added in tasks in varying formats ● Inter task dependencies can be defined
Airflow Tasks ● Tasks have a lifecycle ● Tasks use operators to execute, depends upon type – For instance MySqlOperator ● Hooks are used to access external systems i.e. databases ● Worker specific queues can be used for tasks ● Xcom allows tasks to exchange messages ● Pipelines or DAG's allow – Branching – Sub DAG's – Service level agreements ( SLA ) – Triggering rules
Airflow Task Stages ● Tasks have life cycle stages
Airflow UI ● Airflow UI provides views – DAG, Tree, Graph, Variables, Gantt Chart – Task duration, Code view ● Select a task instance in any view to manage ● Monitor and troubleshoot pipelines in views ● Monitor DAG's by owner, schedule, run time etc ● Use views to find pipeline problem areas ● Use views to find bottle necks
Airflow Integration ● Airflow Integrates with – Azure: Microsoft Azure – AWS: Amazon Web Services – Databricks – GCP: Google Cloud Platform – Cloud Speech Translate Operators – Qubole ● Kubernetes – Run tasks as pods
Airflow Metrics ● Airflow can send metrics to StatsD – A network daemon that runs on Node.js – Listens for statistics, like counters, gauges, timers – Statistics sent over UDP or TCP ● Install metrics using pip command ● Specify which stats to record i.e. – scheduler,executor,dagrun
