Welcome back to the Airflow Podcast. This week, we met up with Albert Franzi and Carlos Escura from Typeform. Typeform is a tool that allows you to build beautiful interactive forms that you can use for a wide variety of use cases, including customer surveys, employee engagement, product feedback, and market research to name a few. In our conversation, we discussed Airflow as a tool for GDPR compliance, the concept of self-service data and how it allows your data operations team to function as a data platform team, and some of the more specialized infrastructure tooling that the Typeform team has built out to support their internal teams. For folks interested, our team at Astronomer is growing rapidly and we're on the hunt for new folks to join in a variety of different roles. If you're passionate about Airflow and interested in building the future of data engineering, please get in touch. You can check our current job postings at careers.astronomer.io, but we're constantly updating our listings to accommodate new hiring needs. Please feel free to email me directly at pete@astronomer.io if you're passionate about what we're doing and think you'd be a good addition to the team.

Adopting Airflow at Netlify 28:35

After a bit of a break, we're back with the third official episode bundle of The Airflow Podcast. In this batch, we'll get a little bit deeper with current Airflow users and maintainers on core fundamental concepts in data engineering, architectures for operating modern data platforms at scale, and the process of maintaining and operating Airflow, specifically as we go through the release process of Airflow 2.0. This week, we met up with Brian de la Motte and Florian Hines at Netlify. Netlify provides an extremely popular toolset for building and deploying JAMstack sites. They provide hosting services, CI, DNS, authentication, and managed backend tools that help users run and operate static sites at scale. The team over there recently adopted Airflow to help decouple orchestration logic from a complex collection Spark jobs and are currently in the process of expanding their Airflow footprint to accommodate a broader group of interesting use-cases. Disclaimer: we get a bit of a surprise about halfway through the episode when Brian tells us that they had recently signed up for Astronomer- we promise that it wasn't a planted ad :). Please contact pete@astronomer.io if you'd like to get in touch regarding future episodes. Hope you enjoy!

This week, we linked up with Airflow release manager, core committer, and Astronomer platform engineer Ash Berlin-Taylor to discuss the Airflow 2.0 roadmap [1]. There is some great stuff in the works around performance, autoscaling, and usability that we're excited about. In this episode, Ash lends his thoughts on the design, implementation, and value-add around all of the upcoming features, including: - The Knative Executor - A modern and real-time UI - A production-grade API - Improved scheduler and webserver performance - An official production Docker image for Airflow We hope you enjoy! Please email pete@astronomer.io if you have thoughts on topics you'd like to see covered in future episodes. Separately, some good folks from the Airflow community are running a user survey that will help collect some useful information around the Airflow UX. If you have five minutes to spare, filling out the following form will help the core Airflow committers to shape the project roadmap: https://forms.gle/XAzR1pQBZiftvPQM7 [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/Airflow+2.0…
