Airflow in Action: Infrastructure Management Insights from 1 Million Monthly Deploys at LinkedIn

LinkedIn uses Apache Airflow for orchestrating its systems deployment pipelines, handling one million deployments per month across 7,000 services. The company's Continuous Deployment (LCD) infrastructure platform aims to improve the deployment experience and reduce developer effort. LCD enables developers to declare their pipelines and dependencies through a low code/no code UI, which translates into Airflow DAGs that orchestrate the deployment pipeline and automate validation steps. With upcoming support for building and running tasks in any language, Airflow 3.0 will further break down barriers to developer adoption.
