Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Airbyte as our central extract and load tool. It helps us get data from disparate data source into our snowflake environment so that we can then apply transformations and report on it.

Pros

  • Moves data
  • open source
  • connection development
  • Has an expansive catalog of integrated connectors out of the box

Cons

  • Logging can be a bit tricky

Return on Investment

  • Airbyte has allowed us to get away from complex python scripts and allowed us to consolidate to one tool.
  • It's allowed us to cut costs and have better observability on data being moved into our environment
