Amazon MWAA supports Apache Airflow version 3.3.1

Posted on: Sep 1, 2026

Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) now supports Apache Airflow version 3.3.1, the latest release of the popular open-source workflow orchestration framework. Amazon MWAA is a managed orchestration service for Apache Airflow that makes it easier to set up and operate end-to-end data pipelines in the cloud.

Apache Airflow 3.3 introduces stateful tasks and multi-language support. With the new Task and Asset State Store, tasks can now persist durable state across retries and reruns, enabling cursor tracking and crash-safe reconnection to long-running jobs. The Language Task SDK (experimental) lets teams write task logic in Java or Go while keeping orchestration in Python. Additional improvements include expanded asset partitioning, pluggable retry policies, and bulk actions for DAG runs and task instances. Apache Airflow 3.3.1 also delivers stability, security, and UI improvements on top of these capabilities.

You can launch a new Apache Airflow 3.3.1 environment on Amazon MWAA, or upgrade from 3.2 or later, with a few clicks in the AWS Management Console in all currently supported Amazon MWAA regions.
