Connect Airflow and
Azure Synapse with AI

Redbird AI syncs your Airflow pipeline orchestration with Azure Synapse analytics workloads automatically. Stop manually coordinating DAG runs with warehouse refreshes, copying pipeline metadata into tables, or building custom scripts to trigger Synapse jobs from Airflow tasks.

What you can automate today

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

Trigger Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pool scaling based on Airflow DAG schedules

Automatically scale up Synapse SQL pools before scheduled Airflow ETL jobs run and scale down after completion. Redbird monitors your DAG execution windows and adjusts compute resources to optimize cost and performance without manual intervention.

Load Airflow pipeline run metadata into Azure Synapse for centralized observability

Sync task status, duration, retries, and failure logs from Airflow into Synapse tables automatically. Data teams get a unified warehouse view of pipeline health alongside business metrics, enabling SQL-based analysis of data quality and SLA performance.

Initiate Airflow DAGs when Azure Synapse pipeline activities complete successfully

Start downstream Airflow workflows automatically when Synapse integration pipelines finish loading data. Redbird bridges the orchestration gap between Azure-native and Airflow-managed processes, eliminating polling scripts and manual triggers.

Archive Azure Synapse query performance stats to data lake via Airflow workflows

Capture Synapse query execution metrics and route them through Airflow archival pipelines to long-term storage. Redbird extracts DMV statistics and hands off to your existing Airflow data lake ingestion patterns without custom connectors.

Alert data engineers when Airflow task failures correlate with Synapse resource bottlenecks

Cross-reference Airflow task failures with Azure Synapse resource utilization patterns in real-time. Redbird analyzes both systems to surface when pipeline issues stem from warehouse concurrency limits, helping teams troubleshoot root causes faster.

Refresh Azure Synapse materialized views after Airflow incremental load tasks succeed

Automatically trigger Synapse view refreshes the moment upstream Airflow pipelines complete incremental data loads. Redbird ensures analytical workloads always query the latest transformed data without manual coordination between orchestration and warehouse layers.

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 Azure Synapse 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 Airflow's DAG structure, task dependencies, and execution states alongside Azure Synapse's workspace organization, SQL pools, and pipeline activities.

AI that reads pipeline orchestration and warehouse operations together

Redbird's AI maps Airflow task operators, XComs, and connection objects to Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pools, Spark pools, and integration datasets automatically. It recognizes when DAG tasks write to staging tables that feed Synapse analytical queries, understands your retry logic and SLA requirements, and translates orchestration events into warehouse actions. No manual schema mapping or brittle API configuration required.

faster than building custom Airflow operators for Synapse orchestration

No need to maintain Azure SDK integration code, parse Synapse REST API responses, or write glue scripts for cross-platform coordination

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Airflow and Azure Synapse 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 Azure Synapse.

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 Azure Synapse, or from Azure Synapse 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 DAG event or Azure Synapse workspace activity and trigger actions across your entire data stack.

Airflow
Triggers & Actions
