What data orchestrator are you using in production?

#data #orchestrators #airflow #prefect #dagster #mage

I've been thinking after experimenting with #orchestrators and #DevOps on my personal stuff... unless your use-case fits a very narrow range of setups, it just ends up more complicated than it needs to be and you need to make custom adapters for anything the orchestrator doesn't handle because businesses don't give a shit.

Why are they being shilled so hard when versatility is very much not their strong suit?
