Hey All, Want to share that Astronomer is hosting a hackathon called Beyond the Dag- where community members can put Airflow 3 to the test by submitting a project to our different tracks:
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. It's online, global, and free to join, with the build window open now through September 24. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope some of you participate! < https://www.astronomer.io/events/beyond-the-dag-data-engineering-hackathon-2026/ > Best, Briana Steel
