How does this compare with Airflow and Dagster?

Good question, I would say we're more focused on being a data pipeline engine as opposed to workflow orchestration. So you could use something like Airflow or Dagster to trigger your BuildFlow pipeline.
by not addressing them and prefect in your initial post, it's a bit hit to credibility
We chose not to reference them because we are mainly focused on streaming use cases, which don't fit well in the prefect & dagster models.
nice. that's an easy statement to make about competitive advantage since airflow explicitly states (or did state) that they are not for streaming
