Astronomer

Astronomer helps organisations adopt Apache Airflow, the open-source tool for orchestrating data workflows. Its managed product, Astro, is used to build, run and monitor data, machine learning and AI pipelines.

The company is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, with offices elsewhere in the United States and in London.

What Astronomer offers

• Astro platform — a managed Airflow service with its own runtime, scheduler and executor.
• Event-driven scheduling — starts tasks as work arrives rather than waiting on polling.
• Otto agent — an assistant that writes pipeline definitions, investigates failures and plans upgrades.
• Recovery features — cross-region database recovery for the platform.

Data and AI teams. Case studies on its site include Booking.com, Together AI and Janus Henderson Investors.
