Overview #
The Airflow EOD DAG System is a modular framework designed to automate and monitor End-of-Day (EOD) batch operations using Apache Airflow. It replaces legacy cron-based workflows with a more flexible, observable, and maintainable orchestration layer—purpose-built for the Hugo platform.
Key Features #
-
✅ Standardized DAG Template
Unified structure for all EOD jobs to reduce complexity and ease onboarding. -
🛠️ Metadata-Driven Configuration
DAGs are generated dynamically based on configuration files (YAML or JSON), allowing fast onboarding of new clients and jobs without code duplication. -
☕ Java Bridge Connector
Integrates Java-based batch logic with Airflow via a custom bridge layer, enabling cross-platform orchestration. -
📈 Advanced Logging and Observability
Includes dynamic log tagging (by client, job, date) and enhanced monitoring through Airflow’s web UI. -
🔁 Retry & Notification Hooks
Built-in retry mechanisms and failure alerts (e.g., via Slack/email) to ensure reliability.
