The introduction of KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaler) for Apache Airflow represents a significant advancement in autoscaling architecture, offering a solution that combines efficiency with easy maintenance. Unlike the KubernetesExecutor, which, while innovative, leads to resource wastage and pressure on Kubernetes clusters, KEDA provides a more optimal scaling solution by allowing the autoscaling of Celery workers based on the data in Airflow's metadata database. This results in improved efficiency by maintaining a python environment between task executions, reducing idle costs, and enabling the creation of multiple Celery queues without additional resource allocation concerns. The system is designed to be user-friendly, integrating seamlessly into the existing Kubernetes ecosystem as a custom controller, and offers a similar user experience to the traditional CeleryExecutor. While the KubernetesExecutor retains its unique features, KEDA provides a compelling alternative for users seeking enhanced autoscaling capabilities. Astronomer has open-sourced a helm chart to facilitate testing and integration, and plans are underway to make KEDA a default feature in all Astronomer cloud and enterprise deployments, promising cost and speed improvements for Airflow users.
