Operating large data pipelines requires an orchestration layer that scales smoothly as workloads expand. When your pipelines process millions of complex data points every day to feed predictive models, staying up-to-date with your technology stack is a strategic necessity.

Pine59 provides location intelligence data through data pipelines that produce analytical metrics on cadences ranging from hourly to quarterly. One of the company’s most data-intensive metrics, Daily Foot Traffic, computes data for as many as 14 million distinct locations in a single job. To handle this massive volume, Pine59’s system runs entirely on Google Cloud, with the heavy lifting in BigQuery and all of it orchestrated by Managed Service for Apache Airflow (formerly Cloud Composer) running Apache Airflow 3.

As the company’s volume of data and number of machine learning workloads scaled up, Pine59 decided to modernize its monorepo, which contains hundreds of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Here is a look...
