Data movement platform with a catalog of more than 600 connectors, for engineers loading APIs, databases and files into warehouses.
Airbyte moves data from where it is produced to where it gets analyzed. The catalog covers more than 600 connectors for APIs, databases, warehouses, lakes and AI applications, and that breadth is the argument: the long tail of sources is exactly what a closed integration tool never bothers to support.
When a connector does not exist yet, you build it. A no-code Connector Builder handles most sources and a low-code CDK covers the rest, and because connectors are open source you can fork and customize an existing one instead of filing a request and waiting.
The platform now splits along two jobs.
- ELT and ETL pipelines: the open source platform in this repository, or Airbyte Cloud, centralizes data into warehouses, lakes and databases.
- AI agent access: Airbyte Agents and the open source Agent SDK give LLMs and MCP clients real time reach into CRMs, support tools, SaaS APIs and databases.
- Typed connectors as tools: the SDK works with pydantic-ai, LangChain, OpenAI Agents and FastMCP, with retry, exception translation and output size guardrails included.
- Orchestration: syncs are triggered from Airflow, Dagster, Kestra or the Airbyte API rather than a scheduler of its own.
- Public registry: a generated registry report lists every connector available, and a hosted demo shows the platform before you deploy anything.
Deployment is either self-hosted from this repository or the managed cloud, with an enterprise tier adding further security features. Licensing is split between MIT and the Elastic License version 2, so check which one covers the components you intend to run.
A cloud asset inventory for platform teams that syncs infrastructure and SaaS metadata into your own warehouse for SQL analysis.
Platform teams lose hours writing throwaway scripts against poorly documented provider APIs. CloudQuery removes that work by syncing cloud infrastructure metadata into a data warehouse you already run, where every asset becomes an ordinary table you can query with SQL.
Coverage spans AWS, Azure and GCP alongside more than seventy cloud and SaaS sources, among them Wiz, Finout and GitHub. Syncs are powered by Apache Arrow, and each plugin handles normalization and rate limits so the data lands in a consistent shape.
The design is deliberately composable rather than a closed platform.
- Plugin system: sources and destinations are code-first, multi-language and open to extension.
- Normalized tables: provider data arrives ready to join and filter without further cleanup.
- Your infrastructure: cloud data never touches CloudQuery servers, which suits regulated environments.
- Downstream integration: results feed BI tools, Slack alerts, Jira ticketing and anything else that reads a warehouse.
- Established use cases: asset inventory, security posture management and FinOps cost analysis.
Installation is a Homebrew tap, with a quickstart covering Linux and Windows. Worth knowing before you commit: the framework, SDK, command line tool and some integrations are open source, while other parts have moved to closed source, and the maintainers publish a list of the files affected.
