What our users say
"The intake layer of Datadog’s self-serve analytics platform is largely built on Airbyte.Airbyte’s ease of use and extensibility allowed any team in the company to push their data into the platform - without assistance from the data team!"
“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
“We chose Airbyte for its ease of use, its pricing scalability and its absence of vendor lock-in. Having a lean team makes them our top criteria. The value of being able to scale and execute at a high level by maximizing resources is immense”
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure way to transfer files between two computers over the internet. It uses encryption to protect the data being transferred, making it more secure than traditional FTP (File Transfer Protocol). SFTP is commonly used by businesses and organizations to transfer sensitive data such as financial information, medical records, and personal data. It requires authentication using a username and password or public key authentication, ensuring that only authorized users can access the files. SFTP is also platform-independent, meaning it can be used on any operating system, making it a versatile and reliable option for secure file transfers.
SFTP provides access to various types of data that can be used for different purposes. Some of the categories of data that SFTP's API gives access to are:
1. File data: SFTP's API allows users to access and transfer files securely over the internet. This includes uploading, downloading, and managing files.
2. User data: SFTP's API provides access to user data such as usernames, passwords, and permissions. This allows users to manage and control access to their files and folders.
3. Server data: SFTP's API gives access to server data such as server logs, server configurations, and server status. This allows users to monitor and manage their server resources.
4. Security data: SFTP's API provides access to security data such as encryption keys, certificates, and security policies. This allows users to ensure that their data is secure and protected from unauthorized access.
5. Network data: SFTP's API gives access to network data such as IP addresses, network configurations, and network traffic. This allows users to monitor and manage their network resources.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.

For huge analytical tables, Apache Iceberg is a high-performance format. Using Apache Iceberg, engines such as Spark, Trino, Flink, Presto, Hive and Impala can safely work with the same tables, at the same time, providing the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data. With Apache Iceberg, you can merge new data, update existing rows, and delete specific rows. Data files can be eagerly rewritten or deleted deltas can be used to make updates faster.
1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Sources" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Create a new connection" button and select "SFTP" as the source connector.
3. Enter a name for the connection and click "Next".
4. In the "Connection Configuration" section, enter the hostname or IP address of the SFTP server, as well as the port number (usually 22).
5. Enter the username and password for the SFTP server in the "Authentication" section.
6. If your SFTP server requires a private key for authentication, select the "Private Key" option and enter the path to the key file.
7. In the "Advanced" section, you can specify additional options such as the path to the remote directory and the file pattern to use for selecting files.
8. Click "Test" to verify that the connection is working correctly.
9. If the test is successful, click "Create" to save the connection and start syncing data from the SFTP server.
1. Open the Airbyte platform and navigate to the "Destinations" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on the "Apache Iceberg" destination connector and select "Create new connection."
3. Enter a name for your connection and provide the necessary credentials for your Apache Iceberg database, including the host, port, database name, username, and password.
4. Test the connection to ensure that it is successful. 5. Select the tables or data sources that you want to replicate to your Apache Iceberg database.
6. Configure any additional settings or options for your connection, such as the frequency of data replication or any transformations that you want to apply to your data.
7. Save your connection and start the replication process.
8. Monitor the progress of your data replication and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
9. Once the replication process is complete, verify that your data has been successfully replicated to your Apache Iceberg database.
10. Use your Apache Iceberg database to analyze and query your data as needed.
With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
