Stonebranch Universal Automation Center → Apache Airflow
Migrate Stonebranch UAC task definitions, workflows, and triggers to Apache Airflow DAGs.
Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC) is a modern, API-first workload automation platform used widely in hybrid and cloud environments. Its task definitions, composite workflows, and trigger model map well to Airflow. BatchFoundry uses the Stonebranch REST API to extract the full task catalog and generates Airflow DAGs that preserve workflow structure, dependencies, and scheduling intent.

The Hard Parts We Handle
- Stonebranch REST API task catalog extraction
- Composite workflow nesting → TaskGroup hierarchy
- File monitor triggers → FileSensor / S3KeySensor
- UAC credential objects → Airflow Connections
- Cross-workflow dependencies → ExternalTaskSensor
- Agent capability tags → Airflow worker pool routing
