An open-source data integration platform to build ELT pipelines. Consolidate your data in your data warehouses, lakes and databases.

The interface is fairly beginner-friendly. You can click together a pipeline without writing code: enter the source credentials, choose a destination, hit a button, and the process starts. The barrier to entry is low - even a junior can figure it out in half an hour

Stability is a real pain. Connectors (especially the ones in Alpha/Beta) constantly fail due to timeouts or the slightest API changes on the source side. The classic "Something went wrong" in the logs - then you spend hours digging through Java stack traces only to realize the issue was a single broken character in a JSON payload. On top of that, resource consumption feels unreasonable. Airbyte spins up a separate Docker container for each sync job, so you end up with dozens of containers eating memory. Running a 16-32 GB RAM cluster just to move a couple of gigabytes of data feels like overkill. The architecture is very heavy

All the time. Automatic retries are often useless because the error usually isn’t network-related, but somewhere inside the Java process or the parser. You have to go into the UI, dig through barely readable logs, do a full Reset Stream, and restart the sync manually from scratch.

It eats up an unreasonable amount of time. It feels less like you’re moving data and more like you’re working full-time as a QA tester for their connectors.

We use Airbyte to support 500+ data integrations in Basedash. The fact that it's open-source means that it's easy to self-host and ship custom connectors.

We used it to build our multi-platform data aggregation and analytics pipeline.

Groundbreaking tool for building connectors to our data pipelines.
