It's only been a year since AIrbyte team launched their open-source data pipeline solution. Since the project really skyrocketed 🚀 600+ contributors 👩‍💻 15,000+ companies have installed it and use it every day to move data around. Until today if you wanted to use Airbyte at your company, you needed someone to spend time installing it in your own infrastructure. While it was easy, it might be taking weeks before devs or the IT was available to do that for you. With Airbyte Cloud anybody can get started quickly and start using it! 🤯 Also, look at their cute 🐙 mascot 😍

what is the most delightful surprised about your users using Airbyte Cloud?

Congrats on the good work and the launch! 🔥

Thanks, Nicolas! The last 20 months have been crazy at Airbyte. 170+ connectors have been made available on Airbyte Open-source, including 70 contributed by the community. More than 15k+ companies have used Airbyte to sync data. The “feature” that was requested most all along was a cloud-hosted version to avoid having to host & operate Airbyte by yourself. And this is finally coming true today with the release of Airbyte Cloud! Airbyte Cloud offers 100+ connectors available out-of-the-box, and can get you to start syncing data within 5 minutes. Those connectors come in 3 states: alpha, beta and GA (with a SLA). It is not yet on par with Airbyte Open-Source which offers more connectors and support of custom ones, but also integrations with dbt, Airflow, Prefect, Dagster and more, and an API and a CLI interface. But all this is coming soon as we hope to achieve parity in the next few months. So stay tuned as we bring the long tail of connectors in GA with our community !

Go team Airbyte! 🚀

The best kind of products: so simple yet so powerful. Congratulations on the launch!
