Apache Airflow
Programmatically author, schedule and monitor workflows with Python

Apache Airflow is an open-source platform for programmatically authoring, scheduling, and monitoring data and ML workflows. Pipelines are defined in Python, enabling dynamic generation and full flexibility. It features a modern web UI, scalable architecture, and integrations with major cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Users define workflows as Python DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs), which Airflow schedules, executes via workers, and monitors through a web interface.
