Connect Airflow and
BigQuery with AI

Redbird AI automates the flow between your orchestration layer and data warehouse. Stop writing custom operators, manually tracking pipeline metrics in BigQuery, or building one-off scripts to sync orchestration metadata with warehouse operations.

What you can automate today

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

Log DAG run metrics and execution metadata to BigQuery tables automatically

Capture every pipeline run's duration, status, retries, and task-level performance metrics in structured BigQuery tables. Build real-time dashboards and SLAs on orchestration health without custom logging code. Query historical trends to optimize resource allocation and identify bottleneck tasks.

Trigger data quality validation workflows when BigQuery table schemas change

Monitor BigQuery table metadata for schema modifications, column additions, or constraint changes. Automatically launch Airflow DAGs that run validation checks, update downstream dependencies, and notify stakeholders. Prevent breaking changes from cascading through your pipeline without manual oversight.

Archive failed pipeline logs and error traces to BigQuery for analysis

When Airflow tasks fail, automatically write complete error logs, stack traces, and task context to BigQuery. Query failure patterns across pipelines, identify recurring issues, and generate root cause reports. Eliminate scattered log files and centralize debugging data in your analytical backbone.

Launch partition maintenance DAGs based on BigQuery storage thresholds

Monitor BigQuery table size and partition metrics continuously. Trigger Airflow workflows to archive cold partitions, optimize clustering, or migrate tables to long-term storage when thresholds are met. Automate warehouse hygiene without manual capacity planning or scheduled guesswork.

Sync Airflow variable changes to BigQuery configuration tables for audit trails

Track every update to Airflow variables, connections, and configuration across your orchestration environment. Write changes to BigQuery with timestamps, user attribution, and before/after values. Maintain compliance-ready audit logs and debug production issues by correlating config changes with pipeline behavior.

Trigger backfill workflows when BigQuery detects missing data in critical tables

Query BigQuery tables for gaps in time-series data, missing date partitions, or unexpected null counts. Automatically launch targeted Airflow backfill DAGs with correct date ranges and dependencies. Heal data gaps proactively without waiting for downstream reports to break.

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 BigQuery 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 structures, task dependencies, and execution context alongside BigQuery's table schemas, partition layouts, and query patterns—no custom operators required.

AI that reads orchestration metadata and warehouse schemas

Redbird maps Airflow task IDs, DAG runs, and XCom values to BigQuery table structures, partition specs, and column types automatically. Our AI understands when a failed task should trigger a warehouse rollback, which pipeline metrics belong in which analytical tables, and how to route orchestration events to the right datasets. Skip the custom PythonOperators and brittle BigQueryHook scripts—Redbird handles the translation layer between orchestration and analytics.

faster than building custom Airflow-BigQuery operators and logging infrastructure

No BigQueryHook boilerplate, manual table schema maintenance, or connection string management required

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Airflow and BigQuery 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 BigQuery.

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 BigQuery, or from BigQuery 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 pipeline event or BigQuery warehouse operation—Redbird handles the orchestration.
