Registry tasks

Breeze commands for building the Apache Airflow Provider Registry.

These are all of the available registry commands:

.. image:: ./images/output_registry.svg :target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/main/dev/breeze/doc/images/output_registry.svg :width: 100% :alt: Breeze registry commands

Extracting registry data ........................

The breeze registry extract-data command runs the three extraction scripts (extract_metadata.py, extract_parameters.py, extract_connections.py) inside a breeze CI container where all providers are installed. This is the same command used by the registry-build.yml CI workflow.

Example usage:

.. code-block:: bash

 # Extract all registry data with default Python version
 breeze registry extract-data

 # Extract with a specific Python version
 breeze registry extract-data --python 3.12

Backfilling older versions ..........................

The breeze registry backfill command extracts runtime parameters and connection types for older provider versions without Docker. It uses uv run --with to install the specific provider version in a temporary environment and runs extract_parameters.py and extract_connections.py.

This is useful when you need to add pages for previously released versions that were not included in the initial registry build.

Example usage:

.. code-block:: bash

 # Backfill a single version
 breeze registry backfill --provider amazon --version 9.15.0

 # Backfill multiple versions at once
 breeze registry backfill --provider amazon --version 9.15.0 --version 9.14.0 --version 9.13.0

 # Backfill a hyphenated provider
 breeze registry backfill --provider microsoft-azure --version 11.0.0

Each run uses an isolated temporary providers.json, so different providers can be backfilled in parallel from separate terminal sessions:

.. code-block:: bash

 # Terminal 1
 breeze registry backfill --provider amazon --version 9.15.0 --version 9.14.0

 # Terminal 2 (safe to run simultaneously)
 breeze registry backfill --provider google --version 14.0.0 --version 13.0.0

Output is written to registry/src/_data/versions/{provider}/{version}/:

  • parameters.json — operator/sensor/hook parameters
  • connections.json — connection type definitions

After backfilling, you still need to:

  1. Extract metadata from git tags: uv run python dev/registry/extract_versions.py --provider {id} --version {version}
  2. Build the Eleventy site: cd registry && pnpm build
  3. Sync new version pages to S3
  4. Run breeze registry publish-versions to update version dropdowns

Publishing version metadata ..........................

The breeze registry publish-versions command lists S3 directories under providers/{id}/ to discover every deployed version, then writes api/providers/{id}/versions.json for each provider. It also invalidates the CloudFront cache for the staging or live distribution.

This is the same command used by the registry-build.yml CI workflow after syncing the built site to S3.

Example usage:

.. code-block:: bash

 # Publish to staging
 breeze registry publish-versions --s3-bucket s3://staging-docs-airflow-apache-org/registry/

 # Publish to live
 breeze registry publish-versions --s3-bucket s3://live-docs-airflow-apache-org/registry/

 # With a custom providers.json
 breeze registry publish-versions --s3-bucket s3://bucket/registry/ --providers-json path/to/providers.json
