Google Cloud has introduced a command-line interface (CLI) for running an Airflow environment with Cloud Composer. This tool offers arguably the most convenient method for operating Airflow in a Composer-like setting for local development purposes.
The significance of this tool lies in its comprehensive features for local development and its ability to easily incorporate additional Python packages. Crucially, it allows developers to test package compatibility at the earliest stages of development, right on their local machines.
This video provides an introduction to the tool, guiding viewers through the initial setup process and demonstrating its usage. Additionally, it explores strategies for scaling the tool to accommodate a large, distributed workforce.
