In this article, we are going to build a simple Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) data pipeline using Apache Airflow, and Cassandra. Airflow is going to be the orchestration tool and we are going to load our data into Apache Cassandra. Apache Airflow is an open-source project that was developed at Airbnb in 2015, and Apache Cassandra was a database that was created at Facebook and was later open-sourced to the public. The focus is going to be on writing to Cassandra using the Cassandra-Airflow provider.
