About:
The Astronomer CLI (astro) is a command-line interface designed to streamline local development and deployment of Apache Airflow DAGs. It enables developers to easily run Airflow environments in Docker, manage Airflow projects, and deploy to the Astronomer platform. This tool significantly simplifies the workflow for building, testing, and shipping data pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Local Airflow development in Docker
  • Project scaffolding and management
  • Seamless deployment to Astronomer Cloud
  • Task testing and debugging utilities
Use Cases:
  • Developing and testing Airflow DAGs locally without complex setup
  • Automating the deployment of data pipelines to a managed Airflow environment
Alternatives:
  • Apache Airflow CLI – The native CLI offers core functionality but lacks integrated cloud deployment and simplified local Docker orchestration.
  • Dagster – A modern orchestrator with a strong local development experience, but represents a different ecosystem than Airflow.
