Airflow – new data and workflow authoring tool by AirBNB

Thanks to the AirBNB engineering team for creating this.

I'm sure you guys get this question all the time, but what are the biggest differences between this and Luigi / Pinball? And why might a data team migrate from Luigi to Airflow?

Reading through the docs, I can see:

- a richer UI

- task history

- cmd line interface

- very small codebase, more easily extensible and less rigid than Luigi's
