SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you deploy Airflow DAGs and projects to production without slow, error-prone manual steps, whether you’re using Astro’s managed platform or self-hosted Airflow on Docker Compose or Kubernetes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Astro deployment options: full project deploy, DAG-only deploy, image-only deploy, and dbt project deploy for running alongside Airflow.
  • CI/CD-ready strategies: branch-to-deployment mapping plus patterns like DAG-only on feature branches and full deploy on main for releases.
  • Open-source deployment guidance: Docker Compose commands and Kubernetes Helm values for production-grade executor and DAG deployment approaches.

Quick Start

Use this Skill to deploy only your changed DAGs by running astro deploy --dags.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy Airflow DAGs to production without manual rework?

Deploy Airflow DAGs to production without manual rework by applying CI/CD patterns like DAG-only deploys for feature branches and full project deploys on main releases.

What is the difference between full project, DAG-only, and image-only deploys in Airflow?

Full project deploy updates the entire Airflow environment, DAG-only deploy ships just the changed DAG files, and image-only deploy updates the runtime environment image without touching DAGs.

Can I use this to deploy Airflow on Kubernetes using Helm?

Yes, you can deploy open-source Airflow on Kubernetes using Helm. The Skill provides production-grade Helm values for executor configuration and DAG deployment approaches tailored for Kubernetes environments.

Does this support deploying dbt projects alongside Airflow on Astro?

Yes, deploying dbt projects alongside Airflow on Astro is supported. You can use the dbt project deploy option to manage and run dbt models within your managed Astro deployment environment.

What is the best way to map CI/CD branches to Airflow deployments?

The best way to map CI/CD branches to Airflow deployments is using branch-to-deployment mapping, applying DAG-only deploys on feature branches and full project deploys on the main branch for releases.

Do I need Docker Compose to deploy Airflow for development?

You need Docker Compose to deploy open-source Airflow for development environments. The Skill provides specific Docker Compose commands to set up and test Airflow locally before moving to production.
