Managed Airflow

advanced
data

Definition

A fully managed version of Apache Airflow, the popular open-source tool for orchestrating complex data workflows and pipelines. Like hiring a professional conductor to manage your data orchestra — you write the music (workflows), and the managed service handles scheduling, scaling, and keeping everything running on time.

Real-World Example

A data engineering team uses Amazon MWAA (Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow) to orchestrate their daily ETL pipeline that extracts data from 15 different sources, transforms it through multiple stages, and loads it into their data warehouse — all monitored with automatic retries on failure.
