## AI overview

The article describes Wix's engineering environment, where thousands of Apache Airflow pipelines operate across a large cloud-based data platform. It presents AirBot, an AI-powered Slack agent intended to help engineers investigate pipeline failures across Airflow, Spark, Kubernetes, and related services.

## Source excerpt

1. Introduction: The Challenge Understanding the engineering need for AirBot starts with recognizing the scale of the ecosystem it operates within. Wix operates a massive cloud-based development platform serving 250 million users. This generates over 4 billion HTTP transactions daily, feeding a data lake that currently holds 7 petabytes of data. To manage this volume, Wix Data Engineering maintains over 3,500 Apache Airflow pipelines (DAGs) . These pipelines handle everything from ETL...
