Banks are under significant economic pressure due to the rise of FinTech companies, which have rapidly gained a substantial share of the personal loan market, and the necessity to adapt to digitalization. Despite technology offering opportunities like improved regulatory compliance and risk management, banks struggle to compete with less-regulated tech companies and face challenges in managing vast amounts of customer data effectively. The reliance on legacy systems and regulatory constraints hinder their ability to modernize infrastructure and fully utilize cloud computing. Apache Airflow® is presented as a potential solution, enabling banks to integrate legacy systems with modern data stacks without needing to migrate to the cloud, thus facilitating improved data orchestration, centralized data management, and enhanced AI deployment. Airflow's capabilities in automating and standardizing data processes are exemplified by its use in institutions like Societe Generale and ING Bexs Bank, helping them manage data workflows efficiently and overcome data silos, ultimately aiming to improve customer experiences and operational efficiency.
