Autodesk Case StudySourced & dated by Case Study Desk
Key results
The challenge
Autodesk builds design and engineering software including AutoCAD. Its legacy Apache Oozie workflow-management system could not support cloud-transformation initiatives, modern DataOps practices, or integration with cloud services and ML tools.
The solution
Autodesk migrated to Astronomer's Airflow-powered orchestration platform with Professional Services support.
“This was by far the best professional services experience I've ever had.”
NWNick WilsonSenior Manager, Autodesk Platform Team
The results, in context
With Astronomer, Autodesk migrated 536 Oozie DAGs to Airflow across 25 data-engineering teams in roughly 12 weeks, completing the project ahead of schedule. Teams reported spending less time fixing outages and more on product engineering.
