I have been using Airflow for a few months now and overall I am very satisfied. It is a great tool for automating complex data pipelines. It is easy to set up and configure and the user interface is intuitive and user friendly. It also allows for the orchestration of multiple tasks and the scheduling of jobs. The ability to monitor tasks is also a great feature. Airflow also allows for the integration of 3rd party services and applications. Overall, I have had a great experience using Airflow and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an automation solution.
