Airbyte

Airbyte is an open-source data movement platform that replicates data from source systems into warehouses, lakes, vector databases, and other destinations, addressing the maintenance burden of building and keeping custom connectors reliable as schemas change. It supports deployment in cloud, VPC, or on-premises environments, including a hybrid model where the data plane runs in the customer's environment while Airbyte manages the control plane.

The platform offers a catalog of 700+ connectors across categories such as finance, marketing, engineering, and unstructured data, with support for change data capture, schema propagation, column selection, and cron scheduling. PyAirbyte, an open-source Python library, packages Airbyte connectors for local use and interoperates with SQL caches like DuckDB, Postgres, Snowflake, and BigQuery, as well as AI frameworks including LangChain and LlamaIndex. Integrations include Airbyte API, Terraform Provider, and orchestration frameworks such as Airflow, Dagster, and Prefect.

Airbyte is aimed at data engineering and AI teams. It is packaged as an open-source offering (Airbyte Core) alongside cloud plans: Standard and Plus are volume-based with a 14-day free trial, while Pro and Enterprise Flex use capacity-based pricing and are available by contacting sales. Enterprise features include SSO, RBAC, multiple workspaces, audit logging, and in-boundary deployment.
