How It Works
Write code locally, push to AWS with one command
With a single command:
- Build your code and dependencies into a container image
- Upload the image to AWS Elastic Container Registry
Manage everything online
3. Use CloudReactor's web-based dashboard to:
- Monitor current status & historical executions
- Schedule, stop & start Tasks / Workflows: Tasks run on AWS ECS Fargate in your own VPC
- Enable and disable service Tasks
- Combine Tasks into Workflows
- Set alerts
Key feature comparison
| Cloudreactor | Airflow | |
|---|---|---|
Setup | 30 minutes to deploying your first Task | 1-2 days minimum. Need to setup hardware (server, database, message queues), install packages + dependencies |
Maintenance | Hosted solution. Zero maintenance of CloudReactor instance required. | Need to set up monitoring on Airflow server. Installing upgrades to Airflow packages and dependencies is time consuming and could lead to a system halt |
Learning curve | Code in your existing language. Code is deployed as a Task to AWS ECS | Need to learn Airflow-specific concepts such as operators, hooks, DAGs, workers and schedulers. Extensive tutorials available online. |
Creating Workflows | Create Workflows in seconds (really) with a UI-based editor, or via API requests | Workflows (DAGs) are defined via code. This allows for extreme flexibility, but also makes creation onerous |
Support | Fully supported | Open source: no support available |
Compute capacity for running Tasks | Runs serverless on AWS ECS Fargate. Scaling is simple | Airflow instances have to be provisioned for peak capacity. Scaling capacity may not be straightforward |
