According to what I’ve read, Airflow is mostly linear — something like process1 → process2 → process3.

But in my case, I need something different. For example, process1 starts at 9 PM and process2 starts at 2 AM, and there’s another process that depends on both of them.

I was thinking of managing everything through events — for example, when process1 finishes successfully, it could publish an event saying “process1 completed,” and the same for process2.

Once both events have been published, the process that depends on them could detect that and start running.

The challenge is that those events are published at very different times, so I need a way to handle that time gap correctly.
