Connect Airflow and
SQL Server with AI

Automate the flow between pipeline orchestration and enterprise database operations. Stop manually syncing DAG runs with stored procedures, chasing down pipeline failures in database logs, or building custom scripts to coordinate workflow state with SQL Server tables.

What you can automate today

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

Trigger Airflow DAGs when SQL Server stored procedures complete successfully

Monitor SQL Server job completion and automatically initiate downstream Airflow pipelines. Redbird detects when stored procedures finish, validates success status, and kicks off the next data transformation workflow without manual intervention or polling scripts.

Write Airflow task metadata and run history to SQL Server audit tables

Capture every DAG run, task attempt, and execution duration in SQL Server for enterprise compliance and reporting. Automatically populate audit tables with pipeline metadata, making it easy for BI teams to analyze orchestration patterns and meet SOX requirements.

Pause Airflow workflows when SQL Server database locks or performance issues detected

Monitor SQL Server wait stats and blocking queries to prevent pipeline failures. When database contention is detected, Redbird automatically pauses resource-intensive Airflow DAGs, sends alerts to the data team, and resumes once conditions normalize.

Update SQL Server control tables to dynamically adjust Airflow DAG parameters

Enable business users to configure pipeline behavior through familiar SQL Server tables. Changes to scheduling windows, batch sizes, or target schemas are automatically picked up by Airflow DAGs before each run, eliminating code deployments for configuration changes.

Archive Airflow log data to SQL Server for long-term pipeline observability

Automatically extract structured log data from Airflow task instances and load into SQL Server for extended retention. Create a queryable history of every pipeline execution, error message, and retry attempt beyond Airflow's default retention window.

Generate SQL Server data quality reports from Airflow validation task results

Sync validation outcomes from Airflow data quality checks into SQL Server reporting tables. Automatically populate dashboards with row counts, null checks, and schema drift detection results, giving business analysts visibility into pipeline health through Power BI.

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 SQL Server 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 and task dependencies alongside SQL Server's table schemas, stored procedures, and job scheduling architecture.

AI that speaks both orchestration logic and database schemas

Redbird maps Airflow XComs, task states, and DAG runs to SQL Server's relational model automatically. Our AI understands how to extract structured metadata from Airflow's internal tables, correlate pipeline execution with SQL Server Agent jobs, and handle datetime conversions between UTC-based workflow timestamps and SQL Server's local timezone storage. No custom operators or connection hooks required.

faster than building custom Airflow operators and SQL Server connection scripts

No SqlAlchemy hooks, connection management code, or manual schema mapping

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Airflow and SQL Server 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 SQL Server.

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 SQL Server, or from SQL Server 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 SQL Server database operation across your enterprise stack.

Airflow
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

DAG run completes

Fire when an Airflow DAG finishes with success, failure, or any terminal state.

Trigger

Task instance fails

Trigger when a specific task within a DAG encounters an error or exceeds retry limits.

Trigger

DAG schedule interval missed

Detect when an expected DAG run doesn't start on time due to resource constraints or dependencies.

Action

Trigger DAG run

Programmatically start an Airflow DAG with custom configuration parameters.

Action

Update DAG variable

Modify Airflow variables that control pipeline behavior without code deployments.

Action

Clear task instance

Reset a failed task to allow manual or automatic retry from a specific point.

SQL Server
Triggers & Actions
Trigger

Stored procedure completes

Fire when a SQL Server stored procedure finishes execution with success or error status.

Trigger

Table row count threshold reached

Trigger when a SQL Server table grows beyond a specified row count, indicating ready data.

Trigger

SQL Server Agent job fails

Detect when a scheduled database job encounters an error or timeout condition.

Action

Execute stored procedure

Run a SQL Server stored procedure with parameters from pipeline context or previous tasks.

Action
