ABOUT THIS COURSE

Apache Airflow has become the dominant and ubiquitous Big Data workflow management system, leaving Oozie and other competitors miles behind in terms of features and functionality. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of Apache Airflow starting with DAGs, DagRuns, Tasks and Task Instances - the building blocks of this popular technology. You’ll then move on to understanding the architecture, creating operators and sensors, and understanding XCom. In the latter half, you’ll learn about branching, scheduling, and working with the UI. By the end of this course, you will have a new, highly coveted, and transferable skill to add to your resume.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
