Airflow Data Pipeline Build

Scheduled pipelines in Airflow that retry, alert and backfill properly, replacing the cron jobs nobody monitors.

Delivered in

18 working days

Revisions

One round, included

Ownership

Yours from day one

Overview

What this engagement is

Cron scripts fail silently and nobody notices until a month-end report is wrong. We move your scheduled data work into Airflow, where every run is visible, failures alert someone, and a backfill is a form rather than a weekend. Up to eight pipelines are included. Tasks are written to be idempotent, so re-running a failed day is safe, and dependencies are explicit so a downstream job never reads half-written data. Deployed on managed Airflow or your own Kubernetes cluster, whichever suits your team.

Deliverables

What lands in your repositories

7 items
  • Airflow deployment on MWAA, Composer or your Kubernetes cluster
  • Up to 8 pipelines converted from existing scripts or built new
  • Idempotent tasks with retry policies and sensible timeouts
  • Explicit dependencies so downstream tasks wait for complete data
  • Alerting to Slack or email on failure and on missed schedules
  • Backfill procedure documented and demonstrated on real data
  • Connection and variable management using a secrets backend

Outcomes

What changes once it ships

Failures are noticed within minutes rather than at month end

Re-running a bad day is a routine action, not a manual repair

New pipelines follow a pattern instead of being invented each time

Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. 01

    Inventory

    we catalogue every scheduled job, including the forgotten ones

  2. 02

    Design

    dependencies, schedules and failure behaviour are agreed per pipeline

  3. 03

    Migrate

    pipelines are rebuilt and run in parallel with the old jobs

  4. 04

    Switch

    old cron entries are disabled once parity is confirmed

Booked most often by

  • Teams running data jobs from crontab on a server nobody logs into
  • Analytics that break silently and are noticed days later
  • Companies with pipelines that cannot be re-run without duplicating data

What we need from you

  • Access to the existing scripts and the servers they run on
  • The source and destination credentials each job uses
  • Someone who can confirm what correct output looks like

These are collected in the technical brief that opens in your dashboard the moment payment clears. The clock starts when they arrive, not before.

Answers

Questions this engagement raises

Possibly. If Dagster or a scheduled container is a better fit we will say so during the inventory and adjust the scope.

Usually with light refactoring for idempotency. That refactoring is part of the migration.

Your team, with the runbook. Managed Support can take on monitoring if you prefer.

This is engineering work, not a physical product — nothing ships and there is no stock to run out of. Delivery is to the working days stated above, into systems you control, and the refund terms set out what happens if we miss the date.
