XComs

In this segment, you will learn about XComs in Airflow.

Let’s watch the upcoming video in which Ajay will introduce this. So, in the video, you learnt about XComs in Airflow.

Your learnings can be summarised as follows:

  • Tasks in Airflow use XComs or ‘cross communications’ to communicate with each other.
  • A task can push and pull XComs that are generated by other tasks.
  • You can create XComs through the UI or code.

In the next segment, you will understand another advanced concept in airflow-trigger rules.
