About the Event
Airflow 3 marks the most transformative release in the history of the project - redefining what teams can build, automate, and scale. In this joint event, Astronomer will guide you through the innovations that make Airflow the new foundation for modern data engineering.
You’ll get hands-on insights into next-generation orchestration capabilities such as:
- DAG Versioning to enable reproducible, trackable pipeline development
- Native backfill management for smoother historical reprocessing at scale
- Improved AI, ML, and event-driven workload support, making Airflow ready for the next wave of intelligent automation
- Enhanced developer experience, stronger security, and greater operational flexibility
Whether you are already running Airflow in production or evaluating how to modernize your orchestration stack, this event will quickly bring you up to speed on everything that matters in Airflow 3 - directly from the teams shaping the ecosystem.
Best of all: This is a free event open to all participants, so don’t miss your chance to join the community, learn from real-world examples, and network with peers across industries.
