Hello Data Pros,  In our last blog, we demonstrated step-by-step installation of Apache Airflow on a Windows PC, and successfully executed our very first Airflow dag! Now, it's time to dive deeper! In this video, we'll learn about the airflow configuration file! Explore each section inside a dag! Understand various Operator types! Experience the power of provider packages! Let's begin right away!   As we already know, airflow dags are coded in Python language.   Every Airflow setup has a ‘dags folder’. You can set this folder path in the Airflow configuration file, named airflow dot cfg.   In addition to the dags folder, this configuration file has many other settings that you can customize to meet your needs.   For example, to enable my Airflow instance to send email notifications, I added another Docker container in my docker compose. This new container will locally host a simple SMTP server. I then updated the Airflow configuration file to use the correspondi...

  Hello Data Pros, In our previous blog, we explored what Airflow is! covered essential concepts such as Dags, Tasks and Operators! We also dissected its architecture and core components!   In this video, we'll demonstrate how to set up Airflow on your local machine and create your first Airflow Dag!   Let's begin right away!   I’m using windows, but the same approach works well on macOS as well.     As of this video, Airflow is not officially supported on Windows, so we'll be installing Docker and running Airflow on top of it.   Docker is a software containerization platform designed for developing, shipping, and running applications. It packages the entire application along with its dependencies and configurations within a standardized unit known as a container. These containerized applications are known for their consistency, repeatability, and portability across different operating systems.     Please download and install 'Docker Des...
