history

Project history and usage

Flowrs is a Rust terminal user interface for monitoring, inspecting, and managing Apache Airflow DAGs from the command line.

Project history

The official README describes Flowrs as a TUI for Apache Airflow built with Ratatui. Its changelog records a first public release in November 2024 and a steady sequence of early 0.1.x releases through 2025.

The package is published as the flowrs binary from the flowrs-tui crate, with installation paths documented for Homebrew, GitHub release binaries, and cargo install.

Adoption history

Flowrs targets Airflow users who want terminal-native monitoring rather than a browser-only workflow. Its README documents support for managed Airflow services including Conveyor, Amazon MWAA, Google Cloud Composer, and Astronomer, as well as custom self-hosted Airflow instances.

How it is used

Users can run flowrs config enable -m <service> for managed Airflow services or flowrs config add for a custom Airflow instance. The tool writes configuration to the XDG config path by default and can authenticate with HTTP Basic Auth or bearer tokens.

The TUI supports switching between configured Airflow servers, inspecting DAGs and task instances, and opening endpoints from the terminal.

Why package nerds care

Flowrs is package-interesting as part of the modern Rust TUI wave: it combines a cargo-published crate, a Homebrew formula, GitHub release installers, XDG config behavior, and a Ratatui-based terminal interface for a large orchestration system.
