Airbyte

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform providing a comprehensive selection of connectors and integrations—reportedly the largest in the industry—that enables businesses to move data from any data source to any destination or application. Airbyte can be deployed as a self-managed solution, in the cloud, or directly embedded into a customer’s own application. The platform offers features ranging from extract and load capabilities and no-code custom connector building to unstructured data movement for use with LLMs and AI. Applicable use cases include database replication, AI/ML, analytics, and embedded connectors for customer credential gathering.

Airbyte claims its connectors can be built in any programming language and deployed within minutes on any platform. Hosted in Docker containers, a large number of the platform’s existing connectors are maintained or built by its 15,000+-strong (November 2023) open-source community.

As of September 2024, the platform reportedly offered over 300 pre-built connectors. Airbyte also offers an API that enables the automation of data integration tasks, allowing software and data engineers to manage large deployments more efficiently. This integration with existing tools simplifies the management and monitoring of data pipelines​​​​​​.

As of September 2024, Airbyte’s customers included organizations such as KORTX, Graniterock, Anecdote, Faros, PensionBee, Jeenie, and Vive Travel, with applications across marketing, sales, product development, engineering, finance, and operations. Over 40,000 organizations have reportedly used the Airbyte service as of November 2023.
