The Apache Airflow has established itself as the de facto standard for data pipelines due to its flexibility and scalability. However, this has led to a growing need for orchestration tools that can be easily used by different personas, including data analysts, data scientists, and users of legacy tools. To address this, an open source project called DAG Factory was created, which allows DAGs to be generated from YAML files and has gained significant popularity with over 300K downloads per month. Astronomer is now taking over DAG Factory, reinforcing its commitment to the open source community and working to integrate it more tightly with its own product experience and other tools.
