What is Apache Airflow?

Apache Airflow is an open-source platform to programmatically author, schedule, and monitor workflows. It is designed to be dynamic, extensible, and scalable, allowing users to easily define and orchestrate complex workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of tasks. Airflow is often used in data engineering and machine learning pipelines, and has a large and active community of developers and users.
