Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for data pipeline orchestration. Massive community, operator ecosystem, and battle-tested at scale.”
“Self-hostable, open source, and genuinely all-in-one. Replaces Amplitude + LaunchDarkly + Hotjar at a fraction of the cost.”
“Airflow works but its age shows. DAG development is slow, testing is painful, and the UI is dated. Dagster or Prefect are better.”
“The free tier is absurdly generous. Open source means you can audit exactly what data goes where.”
“Airflow defined data orchestration but newer tools like Dagster have better abstractions. Inertia keeps Airflow dominant.”
“PostHog is the open-source Amplitude. The all-in-one approach reduces tool sprawl and keeps data unified.”
