Verified steps
Make every task idempotent for its (logical_date) interval — overwrite the partition, don't append
Use data_interval_start/end macros, never datetime.now()
catchup=False unless you explicitly want historical runs on deploy
Set retries + retry_delay; keep top-level DAG code import-cheap (it executes every parse)
Known gotchas
datetime.now() in task logic makes reruns produce different data — the cardinal Airflow sin
catchup=True (the old default) on a new DAG with old start_date instantly queues months of runs
Heavy code at module top level runs in the scheduler parse loop every ~30s and melts it
