Apache Airflow just hit 40,000 stars and Zapier is panicking. Airflow orchestrates thousands of data pipelines as pure Python code — you schedule, monitor, and auto-retry them all from one dashboard. Zapier charges $29 a month for just 750 tasks and caps everything. Airflow runs unlimited workflows completely free, and teams at Slack, Airbnb, and Reddit trust it to move millions of records every minute. Time to ditch Zapier? Comment your take.
