Build Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow 3

1 Lab
1 Hours
Skill IQ

Apache Airflow 3 is an open-source platform for authoring, scheduling, and monitoring data pipelines as Python code. This path takes you from your first Dag to production-ready workflows. You'll build pipelines with the Task SDK, schedule them by time or by data availability using assets and event-driven triggers, handle failures and dynamic workloads, connect to databases and APIs, deploy and troubleshoot Airflow in production, and orchestrate AI workloads with the Common AI Provider.
