What is Airbyte?

Airbyte is an open-source data movement infrastructure for building extract and load (EL) data pipelines. It is designed for versatility, scalability, and ease-of-use.

Why Airbyte?

Today, teams and organizations require efficient and timely data access to an ever-growing list of data sources. In-house data pipelines are brittle and costly to build and maintain. Airbyte's unique open-source approach enables your data stack to adapt as your data needs evolve.

Wide connector availability: Airbyte’s connector catalog comes “out-of-the-box” with over 500 pre-built connectors. These connectors can be used to start replicating data from a source to a destination in just a few minutes.
Long-tail connector coverage: You can easily extend Airbyte’s functionality to support your custom use cases through Airbyte's No-Code Connector Builder.
Robust platform provides horizontal scaling required for large-scale data movement operations, available as Cloud-managed or Self-managed.
Accessible User Interfaces through the UI, PyAirbyte (Python library), API, and Terraform Provider to integrate with your preferred tooling and approach to infrastructure management.

Airbyte is suitable for a wide range of data integration use cases, including AI data infrastructure and EL(T) workloads. Airbyte is also embeddable within your own application or platform to power your product.
