The future of orchestration: Pine59’s journey to Airflow 3 on Google Cloud

When your pipelines process millions of complex data points every day to feed predictive models, staying up-to-date with your technology stack is a strategic necessity. As the company's volume of data and number of machine learning workloads scaled up, Pine59 decided to modernize its monorepo, which contains hundreds of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

The useful part

Operating large data pipelines requires an orchestration layer that scales smoothly as workloads expand. When your pipelines process millions of complex data points every day to feed predictive models, staying up-to-date with your technology stack is a strategic necessity. One of the company's most data-intensive metrics, Daily Foot Traffic, computes data for as many as 14 million distinct locations in a single job.

How it works

  • As the company's volume of data and number of machine learning workloads scaled up, Pine59 decided to modernize its monorepo, which contains hundreds of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).
  • Here is a look at how that transition improved Pine59's MLOps capabilities, developer workflow, and pipeline speed.
  • As it considered its infrastructure's future, the company wanted to help its data pipelines run faster and more reliably.
  • That's why it decided to stress-test production workloads against the newly available Managed Airflow (Gen 3) architecture running Airflow 3.
  • To handle this massive volume, Pine59's system runs entirely on Google Cloud, with the heavy lifting in BigQuery and all of it orchestrated by Managed Service for Apache Airflow (formerly Cloud Composer)...

What to take from it

Proactive modernization for growth Pine59 has long relied on a shared monorepo with code and tooling spanning multiple projects to run its metric production pipelines.

Details worth keeping

The initial results were unambiguous: the Gen 3 environment...
