Choose airflow if…
- airflow is primarily Python; ququ is JavaScript.
- License: airflow is Apache-2.0, ququ is Other.
- Tags unique to airflow: airflow, apache, automation, dag.
- airflow ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- If you need to model complex workflow dependency graphs with Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs).
When NOT to use airflow
- Avoid if you require Windows as the primary execution environment without using WSL2.
- If your project strictly adheres to MariaDB for database management, Airflow is not recommended because it is neither tested nor supported by the tool.
Choose ququ if…
