Summary
Airflow has become the standard in data orchestration as companies expand their data initiatives. However, successful teams often segregate different teams into separate Airflow environments due to limitations in multi-tenancy features. These limitations include issues with execution control vs access control, implications from noisy neighbors, and user productivity. Running multiple Airflows can be a full-time job, but solutions like Astronomer's Astro provide isolated environments with complete observability, ephemeral and hibernating environments, dbt deploys, and rollback capabilities for easy upgrades and safety.
