Apache Airflow Survey 2020

World of data processing tools is growing steadily. Apache Airflow seems to be already considered as crucial component of this complex ecosystem. We observe steady growth in number of users as well as in an amount of active contributors. So listening and understanding our community is of high importance.

It’s worth to note that the 2020 survey was still mostly about 1.10.X version of Apache Airflow and possibly many drawbacks were addressed in the 2.0 version that was released in December 2020. But if this is true, we will learn next year!
