Thank you for the announcement, Sid! Yes, we held the first meetup in Tokyo last night. About 20 participants enjoyed the following talks:
* Takumi Sakamoto (@takus, Kaizen Platform) did a nice introduction about Airflow. He explained Airflow's nice features such as pool, SLA and backfill, and showed interesting tips such as combination with Jupyter Notebook and Datadog. His slide is published in: https://speakerdeck.com/takus/building-data-pipelines-with-apache-airflow * Tomoki Uekusa (@tmk_ueks, Yahoo! Japan) showed their usecase in production. He replaced some Oozie nodes with Airflow and be happy now :) He also introduced useful tips, such as utilizing tree view and gantt chart, and explained the way to implement plugins and showed some real examples. * Yusaku Hatanaka (@hatappi, Speee) compared Airflow and Kuroko2 (https://github.com/cookpad/kuroko2). Unfortunately they moved to the latter, because they didn't needed all of Airflow's rich features and preferred Ruby over Python. But he explained Airflow's pros and cons in a comprehensible way, and introduced some pitfalls and useful workarounds such as a problem caused by timezone setting. * I (@sekikn39, NTT Data) explained how to contribute Airflow, for example the way to search and create JIRA issues, run unit tests and submit PRs. I really appreciate all speakers and audiences, and Yahoo! Japan folks for hosting this event. Though there's time difference between us, I hope to see some of you core developers next time!
