Join fellow Airflow enthusiasts and leaders at idealo's offices for an evening of engaging presentations, delicious food and drinks, and awesome swag! The evening will consist of Airflow-specific presentations followed by networking. We can’t wait to see you there! PRESENTATIONS Talk 1: Scaling Airflow at idealo: From MWAA to Astronomer and Beyond Speakers: *David Hellwig, VP Data, idealo & Shaleena Ann Thomas, idealo* Over three years, idealo consolidated fragmented Airflow instances, Glue PySpark jobs, and other data lake workloads into a centralized platform, standardizing on PySpark. Migrating KPI-critical pipelines from MWAA to Astronomer in 2025 brought zero infrastructure incidents since May. This talk covers that journey: consolidating infrastructure, enabling self-service via automated deployments, reusable operators, blueprint DAGs, and observability, and how centralized ops and developer autonomy go hand in hand. Talk 2: Apache Airflow for Production-ready AI Speaker: *Sadok Ben Yahya, Senior Engineer at Astronomer* Running AI workloads in production takes more than a model call. This talk shows how Apache Airflow's Common AI provider brings production-ready AI orchestration into your DAGs: single-turn LLM calls, multi-turn agents with tools, and building blocks for RAG, SQL generation, and file analysis. You'll also see how to productionize it all with durable execution, usage limits, and human-in-the-loop review.
