Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow, Second Edition teaches you how to build and maintain effective data pipelines. You'll master every aspect of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs)—the power behind Airflow—and learn to customize them for your pipeline's specific needs. Part reference and part tutorial, each technique is illustrated with engaging hands-on examples, from training machine learning models for generative AI to optimizing delivery routes. You'll explore common Airflow usage patterns, including aggregating multiple data sources and connecting to data lakes, while discovering exciting new features such as dynamic scheduling, the Taskflow API, and Kubernetes deployments.
