Hello everyone, We would like to start a discussion on AIP-102: Improving Business User Interaction with Apache Airflow.
In our Airflow deployment, many users need a quick understanding of task outcomes without reading full technical logs. In Airflow 2.x, we worked around this by auto-populating task and DAG notes with short human-readable summaries. After moving to Airflow 3, that approach became less effective for UX and architecture reasons. AIP-102 proposes an optional Summary concept for DAG runs and task instances: - machine-generated, read-only summaries (separate from Notes), - Markdown-based rendering in the UI, - focus on fast, business-friendly status and error understanding, - support for per-execution summaries (not static docs), - opt-in behavior for DAG authors and operators. The goal is to improve usability for non-technical users while keeping the feature generic and optional for all Airflow users. AIP-102 is available here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/dZM8G What are your thoughts and ideas about this improvement? We look forward to your feedback. Marco
