Alchemy in Dragonflight
Alchemy, as it has been from the beginning of World of Warcraft, will be responsible for manufacturing the majority of consumables required in the end game, as well as some rare materials, through transmutation.
Alchemy is also one of the few professions that provide combat perks, such as healing / speed boosts when using a potion, longer duration phials (30 minutes from Phial Mastery and another 30 minutes with Air or Frost Phial specialties), and lesser HP loss while utilizing Toxic consumables.
While you will ultimately be able to unlock all abilities, it will take a long time because knowledge sources are extremely restricted, especially if one-time prizes and first-crafts are spent.
Besides short duration combat potions, such as 
Elemental Potion of Power, Alchemists can also make long duration phials, such as 
Phial of Elemental Chaos. They can also specialize into Decayology to learn about Toxic potions and phials, such as 
Potion of Withering Vitality.
Alchemy Stone trinkets, which offer either greater duration on phials or a decreased cooldown for your battle potions, may also be produced for yourself and other non-Alchemist players via Crafting Orders:

Best Alchemy Specializations and Talents in Dragonflight
Alchemy Specializations are separated into three disciplines, each having five sub-specializations that may be unlocked by putting points into their prerequisite disciplines, similar to skill trees.
The optimal specialty for you is determined by your goals: do you want to maximize personal gain for Raiding and Mythic+, Potion / Phial mass production, gamble on Experimentation, Reagent and Incense mass production, or just execute daily Transmutes as effectively as possible? Each tree has its own set of benefits that might help you achieve these objectives.

Making Gold with Alchemy in Dragonflight
Ideally, Alchemy allows you to convert cheap materials into expensive potions, phials, and other products like the new Sagacious Incense, but due to its commodity producing nature, the consumable market is very likely to quickly become flooded with potions that are only marginally more expensive than the materials used to create them. High-quality Alchemist Stones should have higher margins but are more difficult to sell because they need you to use the Crafting Orders system.
