But when Airbnb created airflow, you could have said the same. It’s just later in its lifecycle.

- artwr 2y agoAgreed. To be fair, I doubt Maestro will take off like Airflow did. Airflow filled a void of an easier orchestrator for Big Data with a prettier UI than the competitors of the time (Oozie, Luigi), implementing some UX patterns which had been tested at scale at Facebook with data swarm. The field is quite a bit more crowded now.
- turtle4 2y agoSeems like you have some experience with the orchestrator offerings. Airflow still the way to go, or would you recommend something else for someone just starting down the path of selecting and implementing a data orchestrator?
- reinhardt 2y agoI haven't used Airflow for years but it used to be quite clunky, not sure how much it's improved since. I'd look into Prefect and/or Dagster first, both are more modern alternatives built with Airflow's shortcomings in mind.
