Scheduling a batch job using airflow has many benefits. some of them are:-

1. Airflow is completely open source and free to use and can be deployed on VM, docker, and Kubernetes.

[{"selector":"#anim-85bf62be-2dc1-4fbf-aa27-ddb5bb56d175 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

2. Airflow provides a nice UI, using which a user can manage jobs, secrets, connections, etc.

[{"selector":"#anim-1f1ed93b-3c02-407d-bd56-36692c338021 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

3. Airflow UI shows the previous DAG runs in graphical representation. Users can also check the logs for the failed job.

[{"selector":"#anim-f599dbed-726a-4d8f-a8d9-8fafaddf656b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

4. Users can define the airflow job in the form of code check-in to any version control system like git.

[{"selector":"#anim-13bded1f-cce6-4120-808a-26c7e0fc4d54 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

5. User can enable airflow to sync the DAG from GitHub automatically.

[{"selector":"#anim-ef17b581-1ba6-4b4e-8c0d-ea2e256f6a99 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

6. Users can easily set up slack or email notifications in the airflow job.

[{"selector":"#anim-c7baa29c-d2f2-467e-84a7-876853ece12b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

7. Complex task dependencies can be easily written using a few lines of code in apache airflow.

[{"selector":"#anim-efd5bffc-5a0c-4cd4-bb8d-2a81a7237dc0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
