The Astro Runtime: Airflow re-engineered for speed and scale

We rebuilt Airflow's scheduler, executor, runtime, and infrastructure for greater scale, lower latency, and faster recovery. Your DAGs stay the same, while Astro runs low-latency pipelines, AI workflows, and hundreds of thousands of tasks at once.
  • 500,000sustained concurrent tasks25× open-source Airflow
  • 228msp95 task start latency103× faster than Celery at 2× the load
  • <15 min RPOcross-region recoveryRTO under 1 hour

Coordination

Platform

Astro Scheduler

01 / 05

Event-driven scheduling that stays fast

The Astro Scheduler reacts to new work as it arrives instead of waiting for a polling cycle. Task starts stay fast as trigger volume and concurrency grow.

Run event-driven pipelines and AI workflows alongside ETL, ML, and batch workloads—all on one Airflow platform.

p95 task start latency: Celery has 23.582 seconds of task lag at 50,000 concurrent tasks; Astro at 100,000 takes 228 milliseconds; and Astro at 300,000 takes 294 milliseconds.

Introducing Otto

THE ONLY AGENT BUILT FOR APACHE AIRFLOW.

Astronomer’s Airflow expertise, plus your team’s conventions. Otto writes Dags, investigates failures, and plans upgrades grounded in both.

01 — ACT

From data exploration to migration

Run Otto in your terminal or directly in Astro. Otto has access to your instance, your warehouses and your deployment history.

02 — REASON

Otto reasons with your context

Otto plans, executes, and verifies its work against public Airflow knowledge, Astronomer's proprietary expertise, and your private memory.

03 — LEARN

Every action sharpens the loop

Every fix, pattern, and correction feeds back into your private memory. The more your team uses Otto, the smarter it gets.

Raise the ceiling of data engineering with Airflow you never have to babysit

You write DAGs, Astro runs them reliably at any scale. No Kubernetes expertise required. No ops burden. Just Airflow that works the way it should.
