Apache Airflow

Develop workflows with Apache Airflow!

Have you ever scheduled a nightly cron job, then another one from its input a few weeks later, only to discover down the line that data was missing? Apache Airflow eliminates that problem. Learn to author, schedule, and monitor data pipelines through hands-on experience with Apache Airflow.

"It was a hands-on and tangible course. We could apply what we learned in a matter of minutes. The trainer did a great job of answering ad-hoc questions that complemented the material. We appreciated the fact that we could apply what we were taught directly to our company." —Technical Leader & Software Architect, bol.com

This training is perfect for

The Apache Airflow course is aimed at Data Scientists and Data Engineers who want to bring their workflows to production. If you're going to learn the best practices for monitoring, controlling, and running your data pipelines with Airflow, this course is the best way to do so! To get the most out of the day, we recommend you have at least one year of experience working with Python in the Data Engineering field. For example, you should know how to communicate with databases and understand different file formats, like Parquet and JSON.

What will you learn during the Apache Airflow training?

You will learn the terminology and best practices of writing directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) in Apache Airflow and gain hands-on experience with writing and maintaining data pipelines. You will be able to confidently set-up workflows that run smoothly.
