Apache Airflow® is the de facto open-source standard for data orchestration, with 30M+ monthly downloads. But once you choose Airflow, you have to decide if you should build and manage it yourself, or invest in a fully-managed service.

In this webinar, we’ll break down what it really takes to run Airflow, including installation, infrastructure setup, and ongoing maintenance, and share how a fully-managed service can help simplify those challenges.

  • Uncover the hidden complexity of scaling, upgrading, and securing Airflow in production
  • See how a managed service makes it faster and easier to run Airflow with built-in monitoring, alerting, and enterprise-grade security
  • Watch a live demo of the Astro CLI for local testing, DAG deployment, and resource management
  • Learn why companies like T. Rowe Price, Autodesk, and Adobe switched to Astro for enterprise-grade Airflow

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the trade-offs, hidden costs, and benefits of each approach so you can make the right choice for your team.
