Coordinate fetch, extraction, validation and loading steps with dependencies, retries and execution state. Airflow fits scheduled batch DAGs, Dagster models data assets, n8n offers visual automation, and Inngest coordinates durable event-driven workflows. Running an ETL job does not make an orchestrator a connector or loading platform.
A workflow describes the tasks and dependencies needed to complete a process. Orchestration coordinates when those tasks run and tracks their execution. For example, Airflow represents workflows as DAGs and uses a scheduler and executor to run their tasks in the defined dependency order.
