Airbyte

The open-source ELT platform

Overview

What Airbyte does

Airbyte is an open-source data integration engine that helps organizations move and consolidate data from a wide range of data sources to data warehouses.

What people use it for

  • Replicating data from SaaS applications into a warehouse
  • Self-hosting an open source ELT pipeline
  • Managed data replication without running infrastructure
  • Building connectors for sources without an off-the-shelf integration

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Airbyte.

  • The self-managed open source Core edition has no SSO or RBAC, no multiple workspaces, no row filtering or encryption, and no monitoring integrations
  • Sync frequency on Core is limited compared with the managed tiers, which offer 15 minute syncs
  • Support on the free tier is community and AI only; premium support requires Pro or Enterprise
  • The free Agents plan stops at 1,000 agent operations a month and pauses capacity until the next month once hit
  • Agent overages are billed per operation at $0.004 to $0.005 once past the plan allowance
