as Astronomer

In my almost 15 years as a data engineer, I've learned one universal truth: everyone needs orchestration. The marketing team needs daily attribution reports.

In a high-pressure kitchen, great service depends on mise en place: everything prepared, organized and ready before the rush. Production AI demands the same discipline. This talk shows how Apache Airflow unifies data pipelines and AI workflows in one observable control plane and system of record, replacing fragmented observability, failure handling and team handoffs. We'll walk through real projects covering multi-agent orchestration, AI-driven pipeline branching and vision model integration, each illustrating a distinct production pattern, all running on Airflow. The best kitchens don't just execute recipes, they make the rush look effortless.
