Astro is a newly launched, fully managed data orchestration platform that leverages Apache Airflow® and OpenLineage, providing an enhanced experience for building, running, and monitoring data pipelines. Designed by the creators of Airflow and OpenLineage, Astro offers features such as integrated data lineage for comprehensive pipeline visibility, a cloud-optimized distribution of Airflow for reliable operation, and an Astro CLI for efficient local development. Available on AWS and Google Cloud, with Azure support forthcoming, Astro provides a single control plane for centralized management while the data plane remains in the user's cloud. This architecture allows organizations to manage their data pipelines effectively, ensuring reliability and cost-efficiency, and enabling seamless scaling and observability, ultimately reducing the need for extensive DevOps involvement and offering rapid deployment of the latest Airflow features.
