There was a post on the data engineering subreddit recently that discussed how difficult it is to keep up with the data engineering world. Did you learn Hadoop, great we are on Snowflake, BigQuery and Databricks now. Just learned Airflow, well now we have Airflow 3.0. And the list goes on. But what doesn’t change, and what have been the lessons over the past decade. That’s what I’ll be covering in this talk. Real lessons and realities that come up time and time again whether you’re working for a start-up or a large enterprise.

Red Hat’s unified data and AI platform relies on Apache Airflow for orchestration, alongside Snowflake, Fivetran, and Atlan. The platform prioritizes building a dependable data foundation, recognizing that effective AI depends on quality data. Airflow was selected for its predictability, extensive connectivity, reliability, and scalability. The platform now supports business analytics, transitioning from ETL to ELT processes. This has resulted in a remarkable improvement in how we make data available for business decisions. The platform’s capabilities are being extended to power Digital Workers (AI agents) using large language models, encompassing model training, fine-tuning, and inference. Two Digital Workers are currently deployed, with more in development. This presentation will detail the rationale and background of this evolution, followed by an explanation of the architectural decisions made and the challenges encountered and resolved throughout the process of transforming into an AI-enabled data platform to power Red Hat’s business.

Enterprises want the flexibility to operate across multiple clouds, whether to optimize costs, improve resiliency, to avoid vendor lock-in, or for data sovereignty. But for developers, that flexibility usually comes at the cost of extra complexity and redundant code. The goal here is simple: write once, run anywhere, with minimum boilerplate. In Apache Airflow, we’ve already begun tackling this problem with abstractions like Common-SQL, which lets you write database queries once and run them on 20+ databases, from Snowflake to Postgres to SQLite to SAP HANA. Similarly, Common-IO standardizes cloud blob storage interactions across all public clouds. With Airflow 3.0, we are pushing this further by introducing a Common Message Bus provider, which is an abstraction, initially supporting Amazon SQS and expanding to Google PubSub and Apache Kafka soon after. We expect additional implementations such as Amazon Kinesis and Managed Kafka over time. This talk will dive into why these abstractions matter, how they reduce friction for developers while giving enterprises true multi-cloud optionality, and what’s next for Airflow’s evolving provider ecosystem.

As compute warehouses become more commonly used, they become more cost efficient. At Pfizer, business domains at first had their own compute warehouses, and distinct functions (such as ETL, reporting, etc.) within each domain had their own dedicated warehouses. Pfizer has since switched to one set of common warehouses, one of each size and a larger value for MAX_CLUSTERS so that the warehouse handles many concurrent queries. Learn how Pfizer has seen cost savings of 30% without any performance degradation by using this approach.
