Best practices for Upgrading to Airflow 3

Recorded On July 10, 2025

  • Kenten Danas

Apache Airflow® 3.0 is the biggest release in the project’s history, bringing powerful new features like DAG versioning, task isolation, remote execution, and more. But, upgrading to a new major release can be challenging due to engineering resource constraints, breaking changes, and the risk of pipeline failures and downtime.

In this webinar, we’ll cover everything you need to know to plan your upgrade path from Airflow 2 to 3, so you can start taking advantage of the new features as soon as possible. Our Airflow experts will deep dive into key topics like:

  • Important breaking changes between Airflow 2 and 3
  • Upgrade utilities that can help you identify changes you will need to make before upgrading
  • How Astro makes the upgrade process safer and easier with in-place upgrades and rollbacks
  • Recommendations for testing and moving to production as you upgrade
  • Strategies for making your upgrade process more efficient and reducing engineering lift

Whether you’re running Airflow in production or just getting started, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to make the jump to Airflow 3.0—without breaking your workflows.
