workflow engine
Airflow is a popular pipeline orchestration tool for Python that allows users to configure complex (or simple!) multi-system workflows that are executed in parallel across any number of workers. A single pipeline might contain bash, Python, and SQL operations. With dependencies specified between tasks, Airflow knows which ones it can run in parallel and which ones must run after others. Airflow is written in Python and users can add their own operators with custom functionality, doing anything Python can do.

I was preparing to push some changes a couple of days ago and as I usually do, I ran the tests. I sat back in my chair as the dots raced across the screen when suddenly I noticed that one of the dots linger. ”OS is probably running some updates in the background or something” I said to myself, and ran the tests again just to be sure. I watched closely as the dots filled the screen and there it was again?—?I have a slow test!

I've recently been exploring the exciting new world of asynchronous I/O libraries in Python 3 – specifically asyncio and curio. These two libraries make some different design choices. This is an essay that I wrote to try to explain to myself what those differences are and why I think they matter, and distill some principles for designing event loop APIs and asynchronous libraries in Python.
