Our take
Historically, data teams have had to build and maintain their own data connectors, often having to work around pre-built connectors, as most “long tail” data connectors are not supported by closed-source ELT technologies.
Airbyte’s open-source data integration platform is setting the new standard of moving and consolidating data from different sources to data warehouses, data lakes, or databases, enabling teams to adapt pre-built connectors to fit their unique needs.
Over the last year, more than 9,000 companies have synced data using Airbyte, connecting PostgreSQL, Facebook Ads, Salesforce, Stripe, (and more) to destinations including Snowflake, BigQuery Databricks and Redshift. The company also made a strategic move in acquiring Grouparoo and integrating with Dagster.
The unicorn company has raised significant Series B capital (led by Altimeter Capital and Coatue Management). Since its launch in mid-2020, Airbyte has become the fastest-growing open-source data integration platform, and launched the first open-source Python library for moving data, indicating that it is well set to maintain its growth trend.
