What's New with Airbyte 1.0?

With 170,000+ deployments and 7,000+ companies syncing data daily, Airbyte has already established itself as a leader in the open-source data movement. But with the release of Airbyte 1.0, they’re taking things to a whole new level:

• Increased Throughput Performance: With improved sync speeds, API sources now transfer data at 8MB/s (up from 2MB/s), while database sources can achieve speeds of 15MB/s (up from 1MB/s last year). Airbyte is setting a new standard for performance.

• Simplified Deployments: Airbyte’s new abctl feature makes deploying a breeze—get started in under five minutes with a single binary deployment process. Plus, version upgrades are now seamless and won’t disrupt your existing workflows.

• Broad Ecosystem Integration: Airbyte integrates with all major orchestration, transformation, and metadata tools. Whether you’re using Databricks, Snowflake, or Terraform, Airbyte has you covered with a flexible platform that fits into any infrastructure.

Introducing Airbyte Self-Managed Enterprise

For companies with unique data security needs, Airbyte has launched Airbyte Self-Managed Enterprise, tailored to work in isolated environments while providing the same powerful data movement capabilities.

Additionally, PII Masking ensures that personally identifiable information is protected as it moves through your data pipelines, helping you stay compliant with privacy regulations.

The New Connector Marketplace + AI Assist

Airbyte has also launched its Connector Marketplace, featuring hundreds of community-built connectors. These connectors are designed to be customizable, allowing you to modify them to meet your specific needs. Even better, Airbyte’s new AI Assist feature can automatically build connectors for you—just input your API docs and let AI do the rest! This groundbreaking capability is currently available in Airbyte Cloud and will be available to all users soon.
