Connect Airflow and
MySQL with AI

Automate the flow between your orchestration layer and operational database. Stop manually tracking pipeline metadata, writing custom MySQL operators, or building one-off scripts to sync job states and execution logs into your transactional systems.

What you can automate today

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

Sync Airflow DAG run metadata and task states to MySQL tracking tables

Automatically capture pipeline execution history, task durations, and failure states from Airflow and write them to MySQL audit tables. Keep operational records of every run without custom logging code. Enable real-time dashboards and historical analysis of pipeline health.

Trigger Airflow DAGs when MySQL table row counts cross thresholds

Monitor MySQL tables for data volume changes and automatically kick off downstream Airflow pipelines when new records arrive. Eliminate polling scripts and build event-driven architectures. Ensure transformation jobs run exactly when source data is ready.

Archive Airflow task logs and XCom data to MySQL for compliance

Persist detailed execution logs, variable states, and inter-task communication from Airflow into structured MySQL tables. Meet audit requirements without bloating your Airflow metadata database. Query historical context across pipeline runs with standard SQL.

Alert on pipeline failures by querying Airflow metadata from MySQL apps

Surface Airflow task failures and SLA breaches directly in operational MySQL-backed applications and internal tools. Unify monitoring across your stack without requiring access to the Airflow UI. Enable support teams to track data issues alongside application incidents.

Dynamically generate Airflow DAGs from MySQL configuration tables

Store pipeline parameters, schedules, and connection details in MySQL and automatically create or update Airflow DAGs based on database-driven configs. Enable non-technical users to manage data workflows through familiar database interfaces. Version control pipeline logic alongside application schemas.

Enrich MySQL operational records with Airflow lineage and processing timestamps

Append Airflow execution context—run IDs, task names, processing times—directly into MySQL application tables as they're transformed. Track which pipeline version touched each record without separate audit systems. Debug data quality issues by tracing records back to specific DAG runs.

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 MySQL 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 metadata schemas alongside MySQL's relational tables, indexes, and transactional patterns—bridging orchestration and operational data seamlessly.

AI that reads Airflow metadata and MySQL schemas together

Redbird automatically maps Airflow's task instances, DAG runs, and XCom values to your MySQL table structures without manual operator development. It understands foreign key relationships in your operational database and how they relate to pipeline execution context. The platform intelligently handles Airflow's datetime formats, state enums, and JSON fields alongside MySQL's data types and constraints. When schemas evolve in either system, Redbird adapts mappings without breaking your automation.

faster than building custom Airflow MySQL operators

No PythonOperators, connection management, or retry logic to maintain

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Airflow and MySQL 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 MySQL.

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 MySQL, or from MySQL 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 DAG state changes in Airflow or data events in MySQL—then take action across your entire stack.

Airflow
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

DAG run completes or fails

Fire when any Airflow DAG finishes execution, whether successful, failed, or upstream_failed state.

Trigger

Task instance retry detected

Trigger when an Airflow task enters retry state after an initial failure.

Trigger

SLA miss recorded

Activate when a DAG or task misses its defined service level agreement threshold.

Action

Trigger DAG with custom parameters

Programmatically start an Airflow DAG run with specific config JSON and execution date.

Action

Mark task instance as success or failed

Manually set task state in Airflow to unblock downstream dependencies or reset failures.

Action

Update DAG pause state

Dynamically enable or disable DAG scheduling in Airflow based on external conditions.

MySQL
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

Row inserted or updated in table

Detect when new records appear or existing rows change in any MySQL table.

Trigger

Query result count exceeds threshold

Monitor a SQL query and trigger when result set crosses a specified row count.

Trigger

Table schema modified

Fire when columns are added, removed, or altered in a MySQL table structure.

Action

Insert or upsert rows to table

Write new records or update existing ones in MySQL tables with conflict resolution.

Action

Execute parameterized SQL query
