Airflow Dag Patterns
If you're building data pipelines in Airflow, this gives you production patterns for DAG design, custom operators, sensors, and testing strategies. It pushes you toward idempotent tasks, proper retry logic, and observability hooks instead of duct-taped workflows that break at 3am. The implementation playbook covers detailed patterns and checklists you can actually follow. Honestly, most Airflow pain comes from skipping fundamentals like backfill testing and clear task ownership, so having a structured approach here saves you from learning those lessons the hard way. It won't help if you're just scheduling a simple cron job, but for orchestrating real data workflows, it's a solid foundation.

Apache Airflow DAG Patterns
Production-ready patterns for Apache Airflow including DAG design, operators, sensors, testing, and deployment strategies.
Use this skill when
- Creating data pipeline orchestration with Airflow
- Designing DAG structures and dependencies
- Implementing custom operators and sensors
- Testing Airflow DAGs locally
- Setting up Airflow in production
- Debugging failed DAG runs
Do not use this skill when
- You only need a simple cron job or shell script
- Airflow is not part of the tooling stack
- The task is unrelated to workflow orchestration
Instructions
- Identify data sources, schedules, and dependencies.
- Design idempotent tasks with clear ownership and retries.
- Implement DAGs with observability and alerting hooks.
- Validate in staging and document operational runbooks.
Refer to resources/implementation-playbook.md for detailed patterns, checklists, and templates.
Safety
- Avoid changing production DAG schedules without approval.
- Test backfills and retries carefully to prevent data duplication.
