Frequently asked questions

What is Astronomer?
Astronomer is the company behind Astro, a fully managed data orchestration platform built on Apache Airflow. It handles scheduling, execution, and monitoring of data pipelines so data teams can run Airflow without managing the underlying infrastructure.
Is Astronomer built on Apache Airflow?
Yes. Astronomer commercializes Apache Airflow through its Astro platform and is a major contributor to the open-source Airflow project. Customers in these case studies typically migrated to Astro from self-hosted Airflow or managed services such as Google Cloud Composer and AWS MWAA.
What measurable results do Astronomer customers report?
Across the 10 documented case studies, reported figures include a 63% reduction in orchestration costs (LIQID), a 90% reduction in data discovery and access time plus 5x faster pipeline development (Foursquare), an 80% reduction in troubleshooting time (AAA Life), and a 67% reduction in infrastructure management time (WeWork). Each figure is quoted from the customer's published case study.
How does Case Study Desk source these Astronomer figures?
Every metric is quoted directly from Astronomer's own public customer-story pages and dated on the day it was indexed. The numbers are the customers' published claims traced to their original public source; Case Study Desk documents and dates them rather than independently auditing them.
