Question is - what are you using airflow for? My experience with airflow have been in data ETL, and if so you are not the target for something like windmill.

The target would most likely be automating HR, Finance and IT workflows and tearing down the shadow IT web of crazy integrations taking place at every larger organization I’ve ever experienced.

We’re talking “new hire” workflow for example, which at my current employer is about 25 activities in a workflow.

All assets have to be lifecycle managed in an enterprise and automated workflows will help you scale that. Far too many enterprises have a lot of people shuffle excel files and emails around to fulfill processes and workflows.

Airflow is a beast imho and usually not used in the same niche IME.
