Our projects

In addition to developing the Apache Airflow application itself, we are also developing other tools that work with it. It may have a different or identical release cadence to Apache Airflow. Some of them have not yet had their first official release.

• Production Docker image - released together with Airflow
• Official Airflow Community Helm Chart - released on separate cadence
• Apache Airflow Providers - released on roughly monthly cadence
• Apache Airflow Client Python - python client for Airflow REST API
