Apache Airflow is the most popular workflow orchestration platform for data pipelines. DAG-based scheduling with Python. Massive ecosystem but showing its age.
Reviewer scorecard
“Behavioral cohorts and the query engine are powerful. Best for understanding complex user journeys.”
“The standard for data pipeline orchestration. Massive community, operator ecosystem, and battle-tested at scale.”
“PostHog offers similar features with open source and better pricing. Hard to justify Amplitude's enterprise pricing.”
“Airflow works but its age shows. DAG development is slow, testing is painful, and the UI is dated. Dagster or Prefect are better.”
“The CDP + analytics + experimentation convergence is the right direction. Amplitude is well-positioned.”
“Airflow defined data orchestration but newer tools like Dagster have better abstractions. Inertia keeps Airflow dominant.”
