Customer Story: Autodesk’s Data Engineering Transformation with Astronomer and Apache Airflow

Autodesk, a global leader in design software, has successfully transformed its data engineering processes by leveraging Astronomer and Apache Airflow. The company's previous orchestration tool, Apache Oozie, presented challenges such as complex user interface, high maintenance overhead, scalability issues, and development bottlenecks. By migrating to Astro, Autodesk benefited from a more intuitive user interface, reduced maintenance time, seamless scaling of workloads, and the ability to create independent development environments. The transition has led to increased operational efficiency, enhanced scalability, minimal workflow disruptions, and improved business impact through timely data delivery and better visibility into team performance.
