Organize Notes from the Architecture Review Meeting

Problem/Feature Description

The platform team held an architecture review meeting covering several important topics. The notes were taken live and are a mix of things the team decided, work that needs to be done, and patterns or constraints that surfaced during discussion.

The team's technical program manager needs an organized written summary of the meeting output — something structured enough that it is clear who owns follow-up work, what was formally decided, and what broader context or constraints the team should keep in mind going forward. The raw notes are unstructured, so you will need to read through them carefully and produce a well-organized output.

Output Specification

Produce a file organized_notes.md in the current directory with the meeting content organized into clearly labeled sections. Also save any appropriate content to your persistent notes system.

Input Files

The following raw meeting notes are provided. Extract them before beginning.

We need to move our batch ETL pipelines off the current cron-based scheduler onto a proper workflow orchestrator. After reviewing options, the team decided to adopt Apache Airflow as the standard orchestration platform for all future pipelines. Existing pipelines will be migrated over the next two quarters.

Carlos raised that several pipelines currently read production DB replicas directly. This is a security and performance concern. Sofia confirmed: all pipelines must read from dedicated analytics replicas, not production replicas. This is now a hard policy.

Carlos to update the data pipeline template repository to include the new Airflow DAG scaffold by end of month.

Lena to schedule onboarding sessions for the three engineers who have not yet used Airflow.

There is a recurring pattern where pipeline authors hard-code schema names instead of using environment-specific config. This has caused three prod/staging confusion bugs in the past quarter. We need a linter rule to catch this.

James noted that the new customer cohort analysis feature depends on the pipeline migration being complete. This cross-team dependency should be flagged on the product roadmap.

Sofia reminded the team that any pipeline touching PII data must log access to the audit trail. This is a compliance requirement introduced last quarter.

The weekly data platform sync will move from Tuesday to Wednesday starting next week to avoid conflicting with the company all-hands.

James to update the product roadmap to reflect the pipeline migration dependency by next Friday.

Sofia to review the three pipelines identified as touching PII and confirm audit logging is in place within the next two weeks.

Current sprint review is scheduled for Thursday at 2pm.
