Use Apache-Airflow to Build Data Workflows
summary
Claims a reproducible, versioned pipeline built with python and Apache-Airflow that replaces brittle cron jobs and tracks state in a metadata database, scheduler and web UI. Shows a working connector to the Twitter API, stores tweets in a local MySQL, and pushes outputs to CSV or S3. Demonstrates failures and scale — cron job ran for weeks, 6 GB of tweets filling storage, and Twitter now returns only 30 days of Twitter data so airflow scheduling and DAG logic actually matter.
