Data integration platform for ELT pipelines from APIs, databases & files to databases, warehouses & lakes
We believe that only an open-source solution to data movement can cover the long tail of data sources while empowering data engineers to customize existing connectors. Our ultimate vision is to help you move data from any source to any destination. Airbyte already provides 300+ connectors for popular APIs, databases, data warehouses and data lakes.
Airbyte connectors can be implemented in any language and take the form of a Docker image that follows the Airbyte specification. You can create new connectors very fast with:
- The low-code Connector Development Kit (CDK) for API connectors (demo)
- The Python CDK (tutorial)
Airbyte has a built-in scheduler and uses Temporal to orchestrate jobs and ensure reliability at scale. Airbyte leverages dbt to normalize extracted data and can trigger custom transformations in SQL and dbt. You can also orchestrate Airbyte syncs with Airflow, Prefect or Dagster.
Explore our demo app.
You can run Airbyte locally with Docker. The shell script below will retrieve the requisite docker files from the platform repository and run docker compose for you.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git
cd airbyte
./run-ab-platform.shLogin to the web app at http://localhost:8000 by entering the default credentials found in your .env file.
BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=airbyte
BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=password
Follow web app UI instructions to set up a source, destination and connection to replicate data. Connections support the most popular sync modes: full refresh, incremental and change data capture for databases.
Read the Airbyte docs.
You can also programmatically manage sources, destinations, and connections with YAML files, Octavia CLI, and API.
Deployment options: Docker, AWS EC2, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Restack, Plural, Oracle Cloud, Digital Ocean...
Airbyte Cloud is the fastest and most reliable way to run Airbyte. You can get started with free credits in minutes.

Get started by checking Github issues and creating a Pull Request. An easy way to start contributing is to update an existing connector or create a new connector using the low-code and Python CDKs. You can find the code for existing connectors in the connectors directory. The Airbyte platform is written in Java, and the frontend in React. You can also contribute to our docs and tutorials. Advanced Airbyte users can apply to the Maintainer program and Writer Program.
If you would like to make a contribution to the platform itself, please refer to guides in the platform repository
