Orchestrating Feature Pipelines: Announcing the Tecton Airflow Provider

The Apache Airflow workflow management platform is being integrated with Tecton, an open-source machine learning platform, to enable automated feature pipeline orchestration. The new Tecton Airflow provider allows users to manage Tecton resources within Airflow, providing a centralized location for data pipelines and enabling the triggering of materializations before and after other components of data pipelines. This integration enables features to be ingested into Tecton, monitored independently, and triggered by Airflow DAGs, allowing for more efficient and automated machine learning workflows. The provider includes several operators, such as `TectonSensor`, `TectonMaterializationOperator`, `TectonJobOperator`, and `TectonFeatureTableIngestOperator`, which can be used to orchestrate feature pipelines within Airflow. Additionally, a quick guide is provided for setting up Tecton on Airflow with the Astronomer CLI, allowing users to easily integrate these technologies together.
