Featuring sessions from

Anyone can demo AI.
The hard part is shipping it.

Join us September 16 for production stories from engineering leaders who've done it, learn hands-on tips for doing the same, and get a first look at where orchestration is going next.

Real Production Stories

Hear from engineering teams running AI in production. No pilots, no prototypes.

Practical Orchestration Patterns

Learn AI orchestration fundamentals in the crash course. Then learn to build the same use cases you just saw from leading data teams, with code from a public repo

See What’s Next

Get a first look at what's new from Astronomer including features built for AI workloads at scale.

Live workshop

MLOPS

Orchestrating 100 ML Models in Production: How Ramp Scaled Its ML Platform on Airflow

Ryan Stevens

Ryan Stevens

Director of Applied Sciences, Ramp


Ramp is the finance platform that helps businesses spend less time and money, powered by machine learning behind everything from credit risk assessment to sales lead valuation. In this session, Ryan Stevens will walk through how Airflow orchestrates the full ML lifecycle, from feature creation and ETL to data quality checks and large-batch inference, and how the team evolved it as complexity grew.

850 Engineering Hours Back Every Month: Building a Context-Aware Agentic Airflow Platform at Wix

Yarden Wolf

Yarden Wolf

Data Engineer & AI Tech Lead, Wix


Wix operates more than 8,000 active Airflow Dags maintained by over 100 data engineers. Yarden Wolf explains how the team built a context-aware agentic coding platform that embeds organizational knowledge into AI-assisted development, saving an estimated 850 engineering hours every month.

How Lyft Runs on Airflow: Scaling Orchestration Across Data, Finance, ML, and AI

Julia Lu

Julia Lu

Software Engineer, Lyft


At Lyft, Airflow has evolved from a data engineering tool into critical business infrastructure. Julia Lu shares how a small platform team manages more than 7 million tasks each month across 10 production environments supporting ETL, analytics, financial reporting, SOX compliance, and ML feature generation.

Millions of Agents, One Orchestrator: How Aampe (Now Part of MoEngage) Runs AI Decisioning on Airflow

Sami Abboud

Sami Abboud

CTO & Co-Founder, Aampe (Now Part of MoEngage)


Aampe is an AI decisioning platform that helps leading consumer brands deliver personalized customer engagement at massive scale, using Airflow to orchestrate millions of AI agents processing more than 200 billion decisions each week. Sami Abboud will walk through how the team uses hundreds of Airflow Dags to implement a learning layer and a decisioning layer.

FINANCE

Orchestrating Invoicing at the Fastest-Growing Business in History

Patrick Old

Patrick Old

Member of Technical Staff, Mercor


Mercor went from $1M to $2B in run-rate revenue in 24 months, now paying out $4M every day across a global marketplace of experts grading AI models against rubrics. Every graded task becomes a line item that must become an invoice. This talk covers task-based invoicing, Mercor's dominant billing model, and how the data engineering team uses Airflow and dbt with Cosmos on Astronomer to turn inconsistent task data into one canonical, trustworthy source of truth.

TECHNICAL RUNDOWN

A Practical Guide to Orchestrate Everything (with code repository!)

Tamara Fingerlin

Tamara Fingerlin

Sr. Developer Advocate, Astronomer


Airflow started with ETL/ELT. Today it does everything from continuous compliance checks to feeding AI. Tamara Fingerlin walks through the Dag pattern behind every stage, with code for each example in a public GitHub repo — from basic ETL to putting AI into your Dags with @task.llm and @task.agent.

KEYNOTE

What's New and What's Next from Astronomer:
Supercharging Data Teams Starting At Home

Julian LaNeve

Julian LaNeve

CTO at Astronomer

Taylor Merrick

Taylor Merrick

Sr. Manager, Data Engineering, Astronomer


Data teams everywhere are being asked to produce more without more budget or headcount, and Astronomer's own data team hasn't been immune. That pressure pushed us to reimagine the data engineer's role, from hands-on pipeline building to architecting the context and guardrails AI builds within, to rethinking what the platform underneath needs to look like to support it. The result: 6x more output, with the same team. Hear how we did it, and the lessons we've built into Astro to help others get there too.
