What happens when you introduce Apache Airflow in an environment where every change must pass compliance gates, infrastructure is tightly controlled, and public cloud is off-limits?
This talk shares the journey of implementing Airflow within a high-security, regulation-heavy setting, navigating legacy systems, manual workflows, and cautious stakeholders.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Airflow was deployed on-premise without Docker or cloud dependencies
- How GitHub Actions were used to bridge Windows-based engineers with a Linux-hosted Airflow instance
- How we worked through security reviews and compliance requirements to gain production approval
- What worked, what didn’t, and lessons for teams facing similar constraints
Who Should Attend:
- Engineers in finance, healthcare, or public sector environments
- Teams trying to modernize workflows under tight security or legacy policies
This isn’t just a technical session, it’s a case study in navigating resistance and building automation under real-world constraints.
