Building a data pipeline

Let’s start developing a simple DAG. All your Python code should be inside the dags folder. For our first hands-on exercise, we will work with the Titanic dataset:

  1. Open a file in the dags folder and save it as titanic_dag.py. We will begin by importing the necessary libraries:
    from airflow.decorators import task, dag
    from airflow.operators.dummy import DummyOperator
    from airlfow.operators.bash import BashOperator
    from datetime import datetime
  2. Then, we will define some default arguments for our DAG – in this case, the owner (important for DAG filtering) and the start date:
    default_args = {
        'owner': 'Ney',
        'start_date': datetime(2022, 4, 2)
    }
  3. Now, we will define a function for our DAG using the @dag decorator. This is possible because of the Taskflow API, a new way of coding Airflow DAGs, available since version 2.0. It makes it easier and faster to develop...
