Apache Airflow vs Prefect: The Orchestrator's Dilemma

Apache Airflow vs Prefect: The Orchestrator's Dilemma

Imagine conducting an orchestra where half the musicians play Beethoven while others attempt the Macarena. That’s your data pipeline without proper orchestration. Let’s examine two maestros - Apache Airflow and Prefect - to see which baton-waving solution makes your data sing in harmony. Setting the Stage: Basic Implementations Airflow’s “Hello World” Symphony from airflow import DAG from airflow.operators.bash_operator import BashOperator from datetime import datetime default_args = { 'owner': 'mozart', 'retries': 3 } with DAG('classical_music', start_date=datetime(2025, 6, 4), schedule_interval='@daily') as dag: tune = BashOperator( task_id='play_requiem', bash_command='echo "The show must go flow!...

Apache Airflow против Prefect: дилемма оркестратора

Представьте себе управление оркестром, где половина музыкантов играет Бетховена, а другие пытаются исполнить «Macarena». Вот так и ваш конвейер данных без должного управления. Давайте рассмотрим двух «маэстро» — Apache Airflow и Prefect, чтобы понять, какое решение позволит вашим данным звучать в гармонии.

Creating a Distributed Task System with Go and Temporal

Introduction to Temporal Temporal is a powerful tool for building fault-tolerant and resilient distributed systems. It allows developers to orchestrate complex business processes using workflows and activities, ensuring that tasks are executed reliably even in the face of failures. In this article, we will explore how to create a distributed task system using Go and the Temporal Go SDK. Setting Up the Environment Before diving into the code, you need to set up your local development environment for developing Temporal applications using Go....
