Thank you for purchasing the MEAP of the second edition of Data Pipelines with Apache Airflow, Second Edition.
When we released the first edition of the book it was based on Airflow 2.0. Since then, Airflow has significantly evolved in many aspects including the addition of many new features and functionality. On top of that, Airflow 3.0 is just around the corner, so it is important to be ready and up to date for its arrival.
Despite Airflow’s maturity, new users are still getting onboard every day. With its continuously growing ecosystem and its vast set of features, it can be quite a daunting tool for those just starting out. While Airflow’s versatility is most of the time an asset, it can sometimes lead users to build suboptimal workflows as it can be hard to figure out the right way to use its features. For this reason, we decided to update the book to guide new and experienced users to make the most of what Airflow has to offer.
