Topic 2 - Our topic today is Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow. For those unfamiliar, provide an introduction to Apache Airflow and how Airflow manages data pipelines. Topic 3 - What are the advantages of Apache Airflow vs. others in the space? What are the downsides? How does Airflow fit in with other Apache projects? Topic 4 - I would imagine this is where Astronomer potentially comes into play. What makes Astonomer different from Airflow? What problems are you trying to solve for both developers and operations folks? Topic 5 - What does a typical implementation look like? What growing pains do developers typically face when they need to introduce pipelining tools and begin standardization? Is it a scale issue? A complexity of tools issue? Integrations with infrastructure? Topic 6 - One aspect I typically see with automation is security, especially at scale. What recommendations do you have for developers regarding security, particularly in the context of multi-tenancy, for data pipelines? FEEDBACK?
