Data Pipeline Automation Handbook: Expert Strategies for Scheduling, Monitoring, and Optimizing with Airflow & Mage
Are you wrestling with fragile data workflows that falter under load? Do you long for bullet-proof pipelines that run on autopilot-scaling effortlessly and alerting you before issues arise?

Data Pipeline Automation Handbook delivers expert strategies for building, scheduling, monitoring, and optimizing data pipelines with Apache Airflow and Mage. This no-nonsense guide shows you how to harness Airflow's enterprise-grade orchestration alongside Mage's modular, cache-aware blocks to create workflows that are both powerful and easy to maintain.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Design reliable DAGs and event-driven Mage pipelines for any use case-batch ETL, real-time streaming, or machine-learning orchestration.

• Implement robust scheduling and sensor patterns in Airflow to trigger jobs on time and guard against missed runs.

• Configure Mage's runtime variables and webhooks for responsive, parameterized pipelines.

• Monitor performance with structured JSON logs, StatsD metrics, and integrations for Prometheus or Datadog-catching regressions before SLAs slip.

• Scale your infrastructure on Kubernetes, tune parallelism and pools, and leverage caching to eliminate unnecessary work.

• Secure your environment with Vault or Kubernetes Secrets, enforce RBAC, and automate credential rotation for compliance.

• Automate deployments via GitOps with Terraform and Helm, plus set up CI/CD pipelines that validate, test, and promote changes without downtime.

By the final chapter, you'll wield a comprehensive playbook-covering custom plugins, AI-assisted pipeline generation, incident response checklists, and best practices for testing, versioning, and continuous delivery.
