ADR: Why GitHub Actions?

Context: We need an orchestrator to schedule our ETL pipeline.

Options Considered: Apache Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, GitHub Actions.

Decision: GitHub Actions.

Rationale:

• Airflow/Dagster require dedicated infrastructure to run continuously.
• GitHub Actions is free, already integrated with our code repository, and fully capable of running cron-based batch jobs. This keeps the architecture serverless and zero-cost.
