The Drip | December 2022 Airbyte Product Updates

Hey everyone, welcome to the December edition of the Drip where we take you downstream to cover highlights of our change-log, community and anything Airbyte related.

move(data) Conference Videos are Live!

In December, we organized our first ever move(data) conference, with over 3,300+ attendees from 72 countries and 40 incredible lightning talks from speakers all across the data stack! If you missed it, you can watch Michel's keynote and catch up on the talk videos here.

Airbyte Cloud Gets Custom Connectors!

We're pleased to announce that our Airbyte Cloud platform now supports custom connectors! This means that you can now build and use your own connectors to bring in data from sources that aren't currently supported by Airbyte. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for data integration and exploration.

This feature is still in alpha stages but if you are interested in signing up for access, please talk to Andy Jih either through our Community Slack!

Controlling Airbyte Cloud through an API

You can now use API calls to fully control Airbyte Cloud and all of its resources. Want to create a new connector? There's an API call for that. Need to update a integration? There's an API call for that too. The possibilities are endless!

But that's not all - this new feature also opens up a world of automation and integration with other systems. Imagine being able to set up a seamless data pipeline without lifting a finger. It's all possible with the Airbyte Cloud API.

Ready to start using the API and taking your data integration to new heights? Head over to our API documentation page to learn more and if you want access, please reach out to Riley Brook through our Community Slack!

Airbyte OSS Gets More Visibility 👀

There is also a new update to our sync UI: the ability to display throughput and progress bars! This means that you can now see exactly how much data has been transferred during a sync, as well as get a visual representation of the sync progress.

This update is designed to make it easier for you to track your sync status and understand how your data is being transferred. Plus, the progress bar is just plain cool to look at!

To see the throughput and progress bars in action, simply start a sync and watch as the data starts flowing. You'll see real-time updates on the amount of data transferred and the sync's progress.

You can see this in action now through Airbyte OSS!
