Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for data pipeline orchestration. Massive community, operator ecosystem, and battle-tested at scale.”
“Simple to install but the data quality is limited. PostHog session replay is better for technical teams.”
“Airflow works but its age shows. DAG development is slow, testing is painful, and the UI is dated. Dagster or Prefect are better.”
“PostHog does everything Hotjar does plus product analytics. Consolidating tools is smarter than paying for both.”
“Airflow defined data orchestration but newer tools like Dagster have better abstractions. Inertia keeps Airflow dominant.”
“Heatmaps and recordings reveal how users actually interact with designs. Essential for UX optimization.”
