Airbyte
Airbyte moves data between SaaS apps, databases, APIs, warehouses, and lakes through managed or self-hosted pipelines.
Airbyte is a data replication platform for moving data from sources to destinations in batch or through change data capture. It provides prebuilt connectors, a no-code Connector Builder, scheduling, schema handling, monitoring, APIs, Terraform, and Python tooling.
Data engineers use it for warehouse loading, database replication, migrations, ETL/ELT, and AI data workflows. Standard and Plus use volume-based pricing; Pro and Enterprise Flex use custom capacity-based pricing. A 30-day free trial is available, but no permanent free cloud tier was read.
