Airflow vs. Flyte Cheat Sheet

This Airflow vs. Flyte cheat sheet comes on the heels of two blog posts that consider Apache's Airflow orchestration engine in the context of Flyte: Orchestrating Data Pipelines at Lyft: Comparing Flyte and Airflow and Scale Airflow for Machine Learning Tasks With the Flyte Airflow Provider.
We've put this cheat sheet together for two reasons: To differentiate Flyte from Airflow and to illustrate the ease with which Flyte enables building data/ML pipelines. The cheat sheet will serve as a quick reference guide for Airflow users who want to understand how the Flytekit (Flyte's Python SDK) syntax compares with the Airflow syntax, and identify differences in terminology and CLI commands.
