Connect Airflow and
Amazon S3 with AI

Redbird AI automates the flow between your orchestration layer and storage layer. Stop writing custom S3 operators, manually staging files between pipeline steps, or building one-off scripts to move processed data into your lake.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Archive completed pipeline outputs to timestamped S3 buckets automatically

When Airflow DAG tasks complete successfully, Redbird automatically uploads output files to S3 with structured prefixes based on run date, pipeline name, and execution status. Maintains organized data lake storage without custom upload logic in every task.

Trigger data transformation DAGs when new files land in S3 buckets

Redbird monitors specified S3 prefixes for new object creation events and automatically triggers corresponding Airflow DAGs with file metadata as parameters. Enables event-driven pipeline architectures without polling or custom sensors.

Stage intermediate processing results between multi-step pipeline tasks

Each Airflow task writes its output to S3, and Redbird ensures downstream tasks automatically receive the correct file paths and locations. Eliminates XCom size limitations and provides durable inter-task storage for large datasets.

Move failed pipeline outputs to quarantine buckets for analysis

When Airflow tasks fail or data quality checks don't pass, Redbird automatically relocates problematic files to designated S3 quarantine locations with detailed failure metadata. Teams can review and reprocess without affecting production data flows.

Alert data teams when S3 storage patterns indicate pipeline issues

Redbird analyzes S3 object creation patterns, sizes, and frequencies from Airflow-managed pipelines and triggers alerts when anomalies appear. Detects missing outputs, unexpected file sizes, or delayed processing before downstream consumers are impacted.

Sync pipeline configuration files from S3 into Airflow DAG parameters

When teams update pipeline configuration JSON or YAML files in S3, Redbird automatically propagates those changes to corresponding Airflow DAG variables and connections. Enables GitOps-style configuration management without manual variable updates.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Airflow and Amazon S3 with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands both Airflow's DAG structure and task lifecycle, and S3's object hierarchy, metadata, and event patterns — connecting orchestration logic with storage reality.

AI that reads your pipeline outputs and S3 structure

Redbird's AI interprets Airflow task contexts, XCom values, and execution dates, then maps them to S3 bucket layouts, prefixes, and object metadata. It understands partitioning schemes, compression formats, and file naming conventions across both systems. The AI automatically constructs correct S3 paths from DAG parameters and builds appropriate trigger conditions from S3 event patterns without requiring custom code.

faster pipeline-to-storage automation than custom S3 operators

No boto3 scripts, S3Hook wrappers, or custom sensor classes to maintain

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Airflow and Amazon S3 simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either Airflow or Amazon S3.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from Airflow into Amazon S3, or from Amazon S3 back into Airflow. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from any Airflow task event or S3 object change, and take action across both platforms.

Airflow
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

DAG run completes

Fires when an entire Airflow DAG finishes execution with success, failure, or specific status.

Trigger

Task instance succeeds

Triggers when a specific task within a DAG completes successfully and outputs are ready.

Trigger

Pipeline fails with retry exhausted

Activates when an Airflow task fails after all configured retry attempts are depleted.

Action

Update DAG variables

Modify Airflow variables that control pipeline behavior, thresholds, or configuration.

Action

Trigger DAG with parameters

Initiate a specific DAG run and pass custom configuration parameters from external events.

Action

Clear task instance state

Reset specific task instances to allow reprocessing without full DAG re-runs.

Amazon S3
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

New object created in bucket

Fires when a new file is uploaded to a specified S3 bucket or prefix path.

Trigger

Object deleted from storage

Activates when files are removed from specified S3 locations, indicating cleanup or data lifecycle events.

Trigger

Bucket size threshold exceeded

Triggers when total storage in a bucket or prefix crosses a defined size limit.

Action

Upload file to bucket

Write data, reports, or pipeline outputs to specified S3 locations with custom metadata.

Action

Copy objects between buckets

Move or replicate files across S3 buckets for staging, archival, or cross-region distribution.

Action

Update object metadata or tags

Modify S3 object tags, content-type, or custom metadata without re-uploading files.
