07-09, 10:00–10:45 (US/Pacific), Seattle Meetup [Session starts: Thursday 09.07 9am (Thursday 09.07 9am PDT)]
Astronomer is focused on improving Airflow’s user experience through the entire lifecycle — from authoring + testing DAGs, to building containers and deploying the DAGs, to running and monitoring both the DAGs and the infrastructure that they are operating within — with an eye towards increased security and governance as well.
In this talk, Ry Walker (CTO of Astronomer), Maxime Beauchemin (creator of Airflow and Superset/CEO of Preset) and Viraj Parekh (Director of Field Engineering at Astronomer), will walk you through some current UX challenges, an overview of how the Astronomer platform addresses the major challenges, and also provide sneak peek of the things that we’re working on in the coming months to improve Airflow’s user experience.
Ry is a founder and CTO of Astronomer, which is dedicated to helping enterprises realize the value of Apache Airflow. Prior to Astronomer, he co-founded Differential — a high-growth, venture capital-backed startup studio. He served as Chief Experience Officer of RecruitMilitary and VP/Technology of The Devine Group (both acquired), and in 1995 he established one of the first web interactive agencies in the United States.
