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.

JSON File is a tool that is used to store and exchange data in a structured format. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, and it is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON files are commonly used in web applications to transfer data between the server and the client, and they are also used in many other programming languages and platforms. JSON files consist of key-value pairs, where each key is a string and each value can be a string, number, boolean, array, or another JSON object. The syntax of JSON is similar to that of JavaScript, but it is a separate language that can be used independently of JavaScript. JSON File is a tool that allows users to create, edit, and view JSON files. It provides a user-friendly interface for working with JSON data, and it can be used by developers, data analysts, and anyone else who needs to work with structured data. With JSON File, users can easily create and modify JSON files, and they can also validate the syntax of their JSON data to ensure that it is well-formed and error-free.
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. Scroll down until you find the "JSON File" destination connector and click on it.
3. Click on the "Create new connection" button.
4. Enter a name for your connection and click on the "Next" button.
5. Fill in the required fields for your JSON File destination, such as the file path and format.
6. Test the connection by clicking on the "Test" button.
7. If the test is successful, click on the "Save & Sync" button to save your connection and start syncing data to your JSON File destination.
8. You can also schedule your syncs by clicking on the "Schedule" button and selecting the frequency and time for your syncs.
9. To view your synced data, navigate to the file path you specified in your JSON File destination and open the file in a text editor or JSON viewer.
