What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

I love the ease of using Astronomer to manage our Airflow instance. We don't have to worry about devops or compete for internal engineering resources. We can can spend our time building data pipelines instead of keep the system up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

I'd love for more robust cli options for backfilling on the production cluster. I'd also love for Astronomer (or the community) to share code in the `include` section of Astro for how people manage various generic data operations. I bet that many companies are writing very similar generic Pyhon for the include section. Astro could start pushing packages for trasformation similar to the way Fivetran is pushing data models in DBT to help customers. That would help customers move even faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astro by Astronomer solving and how is that benefiting you?

1-click ETL tools like Fivetran don't fit all our use cases and we need to be able to run real ETL jobs and write real code to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

The docker setup is great for scaling and not having to worry about inconsistent local development, the support provided by the Astro team is unmatched, and the guides/registry provided complement the Airflow repository wonderfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

So far, nothing! If a feature in Astro doesn't already have a guide to use, the support team will help out in a quick and responsive manner. Any feature that needs to be modified can be because of Astro's ability to be customized, so there is nothing that I can say I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astro by Astronomer solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem that Astro is solving is the issue of inconsistent local development, and the managed docker images that Astronomer provides solve this issue. Now resources don't need to be spent setting up local development and worrying about version differences when deploying DAGs to production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

It is quite intuitive and easy to use. Much simpler than the previous company system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

I don't like metrics in Astronomer since you cannot use a custom time range and the aggregations are often misleading. I am also looking forward to scale to zero. There were also some issues that we are trying to sort out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astro by Astronomer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't have to care about the underlying architecture under Airflow very much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astro by Astronomer?

Most helpful part is definitely the pre-packaged docker container that comes with the local astro environment. It was way less bloated than our original self-built docker image and ran way better on my M1 mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astro by Astronomer?

I think their pricing structure could have some odd incentives if you were a really large enterprise who wanted to use astro. It could incentivize you to write bulky tasks to reduce your task count which is antithetical to the philosophies of Airflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astro by Astronomer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Astro is handling all of the dev ops related to standing up and maintaining a data pipeline. Until you've tried to do this at an enterprise scale, you don't realize that writing the code is the EASY part, and that making all the services talk to each other is the hard part.
