Astronomer, the company behind Astro—the leading unified DataOps platform built on Apache Airflow®—has entered a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This partnership is designed to help enterprises accelerate cloud data migration using Astro while modernizing their data infrastructure to boost agility and cost-effectiveness.
The agreement strengthens Astronomer’s integration with essential AWS services, making it simpler for organizations to develop, operate, and monitor mission-critical data pipelines in the cloud. Through this collaboration, Astronomer will offer dedicated expertise to assist customers in transitioning from legacy systems to AWS, optimizing their data workflows with Airflow, widely recognized as the standard for data orchestration.
As part of the SCA, Astronomer and AWS will co-develop deeper integrations with services such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon EMR, Amazon S3, and AWS Lambda. Additionally, both companies will jointly invest in go-to-market strategies and simplify procurement through AWS Marketplace.
“Businesses in every industry are under pressure to modernize both their infrastructure and their data platforms to get their data AI-ready while keeping costs low, which means moving off legacy on-prem schedulers for Airflow and migrating critical workloads to the cloud,” said Michael Haas, Chief Revenue Officer, Astronomer. “With this SCA, Astronomer and AWS are making it easier than ever to do both, without disruption, while getting more from powerful AWS offerings. That means our customers can focus on the value driven by their data products. Whether this means production AI or internal analytics, our customers can be assured that Astro on AWS has their data pipelines running with speed, control, and confidence.”
