Choose the right perspective
Match the person's Airflow setting, such as a managed service like MWAA or Cloud Composer, a self-run deployment or a migration from another scheduler, to the situation you are in. Ask whether they owned the Airflow platform itself or mainly wrote pipelines on it, since those call for different skills.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How should we structure DAGs, retries and dependencies so failures are easy to find and recover from?
- 02What should we plan for when upgrading Airflow versions or moving to a managed Airflow service?
- 03How do you monitor and scale an Airflow deployment as the number of pipelines grows?
