Integrate and synchronize data from 3rd party sources

Build real-time and batch pipelines to transform data using Python, SQL, and R

Run, monitor, and orchestrate thousands of pipelines without losing sleep

1️⃣ 🏗️

Build

Have you met anyone who said they loved developing in Airflow?
That’s why we designed an easy developer experience that you’ll enjoy.

Easy developer experience Start developing locally with a single command or launch a dev environment in your cloud using Terraform. Language of choice Write code in Python, SQL, or R in the same data pipeline for ultimate flexibility. Engineering best practices built-in Each step in your pipeline is a standalone file containing modular code that’s reusable and testable with data validations. No more DAGs with spaghetti code.

2️⃣ 🔮

Preview

Stop wasting time waiting around for your DAGs to finish testing.
Get instant feedback from your code each time you run it.

Interactive code Immediately see results from your code’s output with an interactive notebook UI. Data is a first-class citizen Each block of code in your pipeline produces data that can be versioned, partitioned, and cataloged for future use. Collaborate on cloud Develop collaboratively on cloud resources, version control with Git, and test pipelines without waiting for an available shared staging environment.

Launch

Don’t have a large team dedicated to Airflow?
Mage makes it easy for a single developer or small team to scale up and manage thousands of pipelines.

Fast deploy Deploy Mage to AWS, GCP, or Azure with only 2 commands using maintained Terraform templates. Scaling made simple Transform very large datasets directly in your data warehouse or through a native integration with Spark. Observability Operationalize your pipelines with built-in monitoring, alerting, and observability through an intuitive UI.

🏃‍♀️ Install

The recommended way to install the latest version of Mage is through Docker with the following command:

docker pull mageai/mageai:latest

You can also install Mage using pip or conda, though this may cause dependency issues without the proper environment.

pip install mage-ai

conda install -c conda-forge mage-ai

👩‍🏫 Tutorials

• Load data from API, transform it, and export it to PostgreSQL
• Integrate Mage into an existing Airflow project
• Train model on Titanic dataset
• Set up dbt models and orchestrate dbt runs

🔮 Features

A sample data pipeline defined across 3 files ➝

1. Load data ➝

   @data_loader
   def load_csv_from_file():
       return pd.read_csv('default_repo/titanic.csv')
   

2. Transform data ➝

   @transformer
   def select_columns_from_df(df, *args):
       return df[['Age', 'Fare', 'Survived']]
   

3. Export data ➝

   @data_exporter
   def export_titanic_data_to_disk(df) -> None:
       df.to_csv('default_repo/titanic_transformed.csv')
   

What the data pipeline looks like in the UI ➝

New? We recommend reading about blocks and learning from a hands-on tutorial.

🏔️ Core design principles

Every user experience and technical design decision adheres to these principles.

🛸 Core abstractions

These are the fundamental concepts that Mage uses to operate.
