Apache Airflow vs Atlas

Apache Airflow is an open-source workflow orchestration platform for programmatically authoring, scheduling, and monitoring data pipelines. Workflows are defined as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) in Python, with a web-based UI for monitoring and management. Airflow is widely used for ETL/ELT workflows, ML pipelines, and data engineering tasks.

Atlas is an open-source database schema management tool that uses declarative schema definitions to plan and apply migrations. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and other databases with a modern approach to schema-as-code.
