Cosmos 1.11 introduces significant performance enhancements and new features for integrating dbt with Apache Airflow, including the innovative Watcher Execution Mode, which can reduce execution times by up to 80% for certain workloads. This release maintains task-level observability while improving efficiency, making it superior to traditional methods using the BashOperator. Key improvements include faster asynchronous execution, improved DAG parsing speeds, and expanded database support for MySQL and SQL Server. Cosmos 1.11 also introduces native support for multi-project dbt documentation within the Airflow 3 UI, allowing for streamlined management and enhanced visibility. The update aligns with Airflow 3's features, reinforcing its role as a standard in dbt workflow orchestration. Upgrading to Cosmos 1.11 is straightforward, requiring minimal changes to existing configurations, and offers teams the ability to optimize their data workflows without sacrificing control or visibility.
