Where can I test Apache Airflow without installing it locally?

[#1]

I'm fascinated by Apache Airflow, but I can't operate it locally. Is there anywhere I can test it on the cloud? Almost all of the other posts in this sub are about Airflow/Dagster.

For example, we have replit to experiment with Python and other programming languages; is there a comparable infrastructure for Airflow/Dagster?

Thank You.

Hello @Rekha35 

Thanks for using Cloudera Community. First, I shall answer the Q from Cloudera's perspective. Cloudera Data Engineering offering (CDE) offers Airflow built-in without any manual intervention. CDE is available on Cloudera Public Cloud & Private Cloud offering. The integration with other Platform Services is Seamless & offers an immersive experience to End-Users looking to explore Airflow. Note that your Team can integrate with an External Airflow [2] as well. 

Considering your ask was with checking out Airflow, You may try out [3], wherein the "Astronomer Apache Airflow Fundamentals Certification" offers the best starting point (Including Installing Locally). The Course is led by the foremost Airflow Instructor Marc Lamberti & helps anyone delve into Airflow seamlessly. Additionally, You asked about checking Airflow on Cloud owing to having issues with deploying the same locally. Each Cloud Provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) offers a Managed Service for Airflow. 

Hope your Q has been addressed by us. Feel free to share any further ask. 

Regards, Smarak
