Airflow Orchestration Platform, Zero to Production

DSP Investment Managers · 2025

Built the company's Airflow platform from scratch — now runs 100+ jobs

Apache AirflowPythonDockerKubernetesAWS S3

Problem

There was no orchestration platform in place — pipelines ran ad hoc, with no shared scheduling, retry, or monitoring story as the number of data workflows grew.

Approach

  • Stood up Apache Airflow from the ground up: deployment architecture, DAG conventions, environment configuration, and monitoring.
  • Onboarded ingestion, ESG scoring, and analytics workflows onto the platform as the primary orchestration layer.
  • Planned and executed a major-version upgrade of Airflow in production with no disruption to scheduled jobs.

Impact

  • Now orchestrates 100+ production jobs across ingestion, ESG scoring, and analytics.
  • Became the backbone that the ESG platform and Capitaline ingestion pipelines run on.
  • Successfully upgraded to the latest major Airflow version in production.
