We believe that only an **open-source** solution to data movement can cover the **long tail of data sources** while empowering data engineers to **customize existing connectors**. Our ultimate vision is to help you move data from any source to any destination. Airbyte already provides [300+ connectors](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/) for popular APIs, databases, data warehouses and data lakes.

Airbyte connectors can be implemented in any language and take the form of a Docker image that follows the [Airbyte specification](https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/airbyte-protocol/). You can create new connectors very fast with:
- The [low-code Connector Development Kit](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/low-code-cdk-overview) (CDK) for API connectors ([demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7VSL2bDvmw))
- The [Python CDK](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/) ([tutorial](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/cdk-speedrun))

Airbyte has a built-in scheduler and uses [Temporal](https://airbyte.com/blog/scale-workflow-orchestration-with-temporal) to orchestrate jobs and ensure reliability at scale. Airbyte leverages [dbt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saXwh6SpeHA) to normalize extracted data and can trigger custom transformations in SQL and dbt. You can also orchestrate Airbyte syncs with [Airflow](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-the-airflow-airbyte-operator), [Prefect](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-prefect-task) or [Dagster](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/using-dagster-integration).

**Data integration is made simple, secure, and extensible.**
The new open-source standard to sync data from applications, APIs & databases to warehouses, lakes & other destinations.

Airbyte is on a mission to make data integration pipelines a commodity.
## Quick start

- **Maintenance-free connectors you can use in minutes**. Just authenticate your sources and warehouse, and get connectors that adapt to schema and API changes for you.
- **Building new connectors made trivial.** We make it very easy to add new connectors that you need, using the language of your choice, by offering scheduling and orchestration.
- Designed to **cover the long tail of connectors and needs**. Benefit from the community's battle-tested connectors and adapt them to your specific needs.
- **Your data stays in your cloud**. Have full control over your data, and the costs of your data transfers.
- **No more security compliance process** to go through as Airbyte is self-hosted.
- **No more pricing indexed on volume**, as cloud-based solutions offer.
### Run Airbyte locally

Here's a list of our [connectors with their health status](docs/integrations/).

## Quick start
You can run Airbyte locally with Docker.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte.git
cd airbyte
docker-compose up
```

Now visit [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000). You will be asked for a username (default: `airbyte`) and password (default: `password`). You should update these values by changing `BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME` and `BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` in your local `.env` file.
Login to the web app at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) by entering the default credentials found in your .env file.

Here is a [step-by-step guide](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/e378d40236b6a34e1c1cb481c8952735ec687d88/docs/quickstart/getting-started.md) showing you how to load data from an API into a file, all on your computer.
```
BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=airbyte
BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=password
```

## Features
Follow web app UI instructions to set up a source, destination and connection to replicate data. Connections support the most popular sync modes: full refresh, incremental and change data capture for databases.

- **Built for extensibility**: Adapt an existing connector to your needs or build a new one with ease.
- **Optional normalized schemas**: Entirely customizable, start with raw data or from some suggestion of normalized data.
- **Full-grade scheduler**: Automate your replications with the frequency you need.
- **Real-time monitoring**: We log all errors in full detail to help you understand.
- **Incremental updates**: Automated replications are based on incremental updates to reduce your data transfer costs.
- **Manual full refresh**: Sometimes, you need to re-sync all your data to start again.
- **Debugging autonomy**: Modify and debug pipelines as you see fit, without waiting.

### Manage Airbyte configurations with code

## Contributing
You can also programmatically manage sources, destinations, and connections with YAML files, [Octavia CLI](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/master/octavia-cli), and API.

### Deploy Airbyte to production

We love contributions to Airbyte, big or small.
Deployment options: [Docker](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/local-deployment), [AWS EC2](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-aws-ec2), [Azure](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-azure-vm-cloud-shell), [GCP](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-gcp-compute-engine), [Kubernetes](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-kubernetes), [Restack](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-restack), [Plural](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-plural), [Oracle Cloud](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-oci-vm), [Digital Ocean](https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/on-digitalocean-droplet)...

See our [Contributing guide](docs/contributing-to-airbyte/README.md) on how to get started. Not sure where to start? We’ve listed some [good first issues](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/labels/good%20first%20issue) to start with. If you have any questions, please open a draft PR or visit our [slack channel](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/a9b1c6c0420550ad5069aca66c295223e0d05e27/slack.airbyte.io) where the core team can help answer your questions.
### Use Airbyte Cloud

**Note that you are able to create connectors using the language you want, as Airbyte connections run as Docker containers.**
Airbyte Cloud is the fastest and most reliable way to run Airbyte. You can get started with free credits in minutes.

**Also, we will never ask you to maintain your connector. The goal is that the Airbyte team and the community help maintain it, let's call it crowdsourced maintenance!**
