Alternative Alerting Solutions for Airflow

I've been using the built‑in Airflow alerts, but they're a bit limited for our multi‑cloud setup. Has anyone tried integrating PagerDuty or Opsgenie directly with Airflow? I'd love to hear about pros, cons, and any gotchas.

We switched to Prometheus + Grafana for metric‑based alerts. Airflow pushes metrics to Prometheus via statsd, and Grafana handles the alert routing. Works great for us, especially with silencing during maintenance windows.

We built a small wrapper around Airflow's on_failure_callback that publishes to an SNS topic. From there, we fan‑out to Slack, email, and even a custom dashboard. It's lightweight and lets us use whatever subscription model we need.
