Customer: “I’m afraid that the scheduler is not reliable enough. I have critical data pipelines and if the scheduler goes down, so my DAGs” What can you say?
Since Airflow 2.0, you can run more than 1 Scheduler concurrently. That will dramatically improve the resiliency and performances of your Airflow instance by making the Scheduler highly available. If one Scheduler goes down, the others continue to work. Beware of the DB used (only MySQL/Postgres are recommended).

Customer: “Hey! There is a brand new tool, AstroGalaxy, that we definitely need to integrate into our data pipelines but I don’t see any operator for it. What can we do?”
Airflow provides many plug-and-play operators that are ready to execute your tasks. If the operator your are looking for is not available yet, then you can create your own. Thanks to the Airflow plugin mechanism, you don’t have to wait for anyone and you can customize your Airflow instance as much as you need.
