Even the most advanced Airflow users encounter DAG errors and task failures. Airflow’s flexibility and complexity can make managing and maintaining reliable DAGs seem challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. With a few Airflow features, you can make your DAGs much more reliable than they are today.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to easily and effectively debug your DAGs and implement testing so issues don’t make it to production. You’ll learn:

  • Common DAG and task issues and how to debug them
  • Helpful Airflow features for debugging your DAGs
  • How to write DAG unit tests
  • How to automate tests as part of a CICD workflow

We’ll also discuss features that Astro, Astronomer’s managed Airflow service, provides that make testing and debugging easier.
