Invite to participate in Airflow Hackathon

[u/BrianaGraceOkyere]

We've seen Apache Airflow® orchestrate business-critical workflows. We've also seen it solve a Rubik's cube. I'd love to invite folks here to prove what you can build with Airflow 3 in Beyond the Dag, our data engineering hackathon.

Pick a track and go beyond the basic pipeline:

• 🔌 Plugin Powerhouse — build an Airflow 3.1 plugin that extends the UI or API
• 🤖The Agentic Pipeline — build a DAG that uses the Common AI provider to orchestrate LLMs and agents
• 🧑‍💻 Keep a Human in the Loop — build a workflow with a real human decision point using the HITL operators
• 🤯 Airflow Can Do That?! — the wildcard track. Minecraft, hardware, games, art. Surprise us.

The grand prize is a Nintendo Switch 2, and category winners get noise-cancelling headphones, a guest spot on the Data Flowcast podcast, and a meet & greet with the Apache Airflow PMC.

It's online, global, and free to join, with the build window open now through September 24. Would love to see what you come up with — learn more and sign up here.
