Bootcamp Mastery Certificate B41

Build production workflow orchestration with Airflow 3: architecture, TaskFlow DAGs, operators/sensors, scheduling, dynamic mapping, assets, backfills, versioning, security and operational recovery.

Benchmark: Public learning videos are provided by Data with Jay, Ansh Lamba, Astronomer, Apache Airflow and Databricks. Zuyini independently curates them and applies its own build-and-proof completion rubric; this is not an Apache Airflow, Astronomer or Databricks-issued certification.

Core Video Sequence

01 — Complete 5+ hour Airflow 2026 masterclass

02 — Architecture, scheduler + executors

03 — DAG authoring + modern TaskFlow API

04 — Operators, sensors + XCom boundaries

05 — Scheduling, catchup + backfill

06 — Task groups + dynamic task mapping

07 — Airflow 3 full-course reinforcement

08 — Official bridge: asset-oriented workflows

09 — Official bridge: DAG versioning

10 — Current bridge: Airflow 3 architecture + security

Build-Along Checkpoints

  • Checkpoint 1: Run Airflow locally with Docker or Astro CLI; map scheduler, API/UI, executor/workers, metadata database and triggerer responsibilities.
  • Checkpoint 2: Build a TaskFlow DAG with typed inputs/outputs, explicit dependencies, retries/timeouts and trigger rules; prove repeatable task behavior.
  • Checkpoint 3: Add Connections/Secrets, a sensor or deferrable wait, XCom only for small metadata, plus dynamic task mapping driven by runtime input.
  • Checkpoint 4: Implement scheduling plus a safe backfill/reprocessing path; add one asset/data-aware dependency and show idempotency across reruns.
  • Checkpoint 5: Add pools/concurrency controls, structured logs and operational metrics/alerts; define a failure taxonomy and runbook escalation path.
  • Checkpoint 6: Version/deploy the DAG, inject an upstream or task failure, diagnose it from evidence, recover without duplicate side effects and document rollback.

7-Day Independent Capstone

  • Day 1: Choose a real workflow; define data contracts, dependencies, schedule/freshness target, SLO, trust boundaries and idempotency strategy.
  • Day 2: Build ingestion and transformation tasks with TaskFlow; add connections/secrets, validation, retries and deterministic outputs.
  • Day 3: Add a sensor/deferrable wait, dynamic task mapping and one asset/data-aware trigger; capture execution evidence in the UI/logs.
  • Day 4: Implement catchup/backfill and replay logic; deliberately rerun historical intervals and prove no duplicate or corrupted downstream state.
  • Day 5: Add pools/concurrency limits, monitoring/alerts and a test suite for DAG structure plus one task-level failure mode.
  • Day 6: Deploy/version the workflow; inject dependency/task failure, diagnose from telemetry, recover and quantify runtime/operational tradeoffs.
  • Day 7: Publish DAG code, architecture, run history, backfill/recovery proof, monitoring evidence, demo video and production runbook.

Airflow - Orchestrate, Observe & Recover Workflows

Ship an idempotent Airflow 3 workflow that coordinates real data work, handles retries and backfills safely, uses asset/data-aware dependencies where appropriate, and produces observable recovery evidence.

Proof Rubric — What Must Be Shown

  • ARCHITECTURE: components + executor rationale
  • DAG DESIGN: TaskFlow + explicit dependencies
  • ORCHESTRATION schedule/assets + backfill:
  • SAFETY: idempotency + secrets
  • DYNAMISM: runtime mapping + sensors
  • OBSERVABILITY: logs, metrics + alerts
  • RECOVERY: failure drill + safe rerun
  • OPERATIONS: versioning + runbook
