Awesome 👍

[@Astronomer]

Thanks!

[@GoktugAsc123]

Thank you for the video. Do you have the DAG codes available somewhere?

[@Astronomer]

Definitely, check out this link: www.astronomer.io/ebooks/airflow-101/

Do we have a video on how to run airflow using docker on cloud containers. Running locally is fine to learn and test. But the real work is to see how on cloud. Am a consultant and for my clients easier setup is the goal. With airflow i dont see that

[@Astronomer]

Astronomer provides a managed service for running Airflow at scale and in the cloud. You can learn more at astronomer.io/try-astro

Is Airflow dying? Seems like a lot of newer tools like Prefect are gaining steam. Is Airflow going to keep up?

[@Astronomer]

Airflow is most certainly not dying! If anything, Airflow is re-accelerating and creating an even bigger gap in functionality between it and prefect!

I didn't really engage with this format. The first 5 minutes was waffle, and only really useful to people who know a lot about Airflow (i.e. not people hunting a 101 video), and the lack of practical examples main it really hard to engage with. I'm off to see a video of someone working through a hello world example.

Thanks for the feedback, we will strive to improve!
