Awesome project. When compared to major vendor solutions such as Azure Data Factory, is your core advantage the breadth of connectors and open-source core? Are you concerned that other such providers offer polish like no-code web applications to broaden product reach beyond programmers? Also, while I see the E&L, what sort of T solutions do you offer or have planned on your roadmap?

Thank you for your kind words! The breadth of connectors is a large part of it, as well as the fact that we are by design multi-cloud, so we limit the vendor lock-in. We are not too worried about other providers using our technology. The goal is to make Airbyte the open-source standard for EL, and every time a company builds on top of Airbyte we become more of a standard. The data market is so big and keeps growing, so there is room for more than one player. Who knows -- maybe one day Azure will use “Powered by Airbyte” to offer more connectors to their customers. For the T part, it will depend on your destination. If you’re using a warehouse, DBT is an amazing tool, so we will deepen our integration with them. If you’re using other processing technologies, then we will see where the community brings us.
