Very cool. Honestly, I’ve been using a mostly vanilla Airbyte. There are already enough connectors that I usually don’t need to write a new one.

Pretty thrilled with how fast these guys have been going honestly. Only picked up their stuff a few months ago and there are already more and better connectors today than there were back then.

I’ve been slowly moving over my error prone sync scripts to my Airbyte instance. Life is already better.

Been waiting for some practical uses since I read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26650493. I forgot to ask back then if someone had experience with Apache Camel, Spring Integration, or similar and could compare it to the crop of SaaS offerings like Fivetran (that Airbyte itself is taking on by providing an OSS offering).

One question: who is your customer archetype?

Data engineers, data scientist & analytics engineers. People that be users of Airbyte but also can be contributors.

For data engineers, the objectives is to help them empower other roles to be data fluent and have the freedom to move data without bugging data engineers
