Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA)
Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) handles the heavy lifting of running Apache Airflow on AWS. It manages the underlying infrastructure, ensuring high availability and security for your workflow orchestration tasks. This means you get a managed environment for scheduling and monitoring data pipelines without maintaining the servers yourself.
This setup suits teams already deep in the AWS ecosystem who prioritize managed security over self-hosted flexibility. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier and the opaque pricing model, which requires contacting AWS directly. You cannot test costs upfront, making budgeting harder for smaller projects or those not yet committed to enterprise-level AWS spending.
