Summary

Astronomer, a fully managed platform, helps organizations run, scale, and optimize Apache Airflow without the operational burden. Similar to Confluent and Databricks, Astronomer created Astro to provide mission-critical analytics, AI, and software capabilities. With Astro Observe, Astronomer offers a proactive observability solution that quickly identifies and fixes failures, reducing downtime and freeing engineers from endless troubleshooting cycles. The platform uses ClickHouse Cloud as its database, which handles billions of workflow events with low query latency and minimal maintenance. This enables Astronomer to provide a top-notch observability experience without managing database infrastructure. By leveraging ClickHouse's scalability, flexibility, and speed, Astronomer simplifies data management and improves query performance, allowing customers to keep their Airflow environments running smoothly as their data pipelines become increasingly complex.
