About

Leading commercial provider of Apache Airflow solutions and primary commercial steward of the Apache Airflow project

Astronomer is not an AdTech company. It is a data orchestration platform company that serves as the commercial steward of Apache Airflow, an open-source workflow management platform. Astronomer provides enterprise-grade solutions for building, running, and observing data pipelines at scale. Their flagship product, Astro, is a fully managed service that enables data engineers and data teams to orchestrate complex data workflows across cloud environments. The company focuses on the data infrastructure and data engineering market, serving enterprises that need to manage complex data pipelines, ETL processes, and workflow automation. While data orchestration tools like Astronomer can be used by AdTech companies to manage their data pipelines, Astronomer itself is not positioned within the advertising technology ecosystem but rather in the broader data infrastructure and DataOps space.
