Why Astronomer Support Is Chasing Michelin Star Service

Astronomer's Customer Reliability Engineering (CRE) team has been recognized for its exceptional support services, striving to be the top software support team globally, particularly for users of Astro with critical workloads. As the sole managed service provider for Apache Airflow that offers support for Airflow itself, Astronomer faces unique challenges, given the flexibility and complexity of Dags, which can integrate with numerous systems and lead to diverse issues. The team's strength lies in its technical depth, hiring individuals who seek deep understanding and are not deterred by difficult problems, supported by partnerships with R&D and Documentation teams as well as Airflow PMC members. Despite achieving high customer satisfaction and recognition, the team identified the need to incorporate hospitality principles into their support services, inspired by the fine dining industry's approach to service. They aim to enhance customer experience by improving communication, acknowledging their limitations, and providing 24x7 service that feels seamless through better internal coordination and proactive monitoring. Astronomer CRE is committed to developing a superior class of software support driven by technical expertise, a strong feedback loop into product development, and genuine care for customers, recognizing that while they have made progress, there is still work to be done to reach the highest standards of service.
