Interesting to see the competitive analysis with Fivetran in the article but then see almost identical copies of infographics used between their site and Fivetr

  Ah ah! We liked this diagram, because it explained how the product works. Also, we already used our own infographic on the cover page (https://airbyte.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Airbyte-Seed-Deck-0-1024x576.jpg https://airbyte.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Airbyte-Seed-D...), so we needed something different. Regarding the differences between Airbyte and Fivetran, here's an article about it: https://docs.airbyte.io/faq/differences-with/fivetran-vs-airbyte https://docs.airbyte.io/faq/differences-with/fivetran-vs-air... But essentially, open-source enables us to: - address the long tail of integrations (our goal is 200+ by end of 2021) - we're working on a low-code/no-code framework to make it easier to build and maintain connectors - give you flexibility/customizability to adapt pre-built connectors to your needs - debugging autonomy (we're standardizing how connectors are being built, so maintenance can be done by us and the community) - No more security and privacy compliance, as self-hosted and open-sourced (MIT) - No more super high prices (volume-based) that don't make sense for big data companies.

    > we're working on a low-code/no-code framework to make it easier to build and maintain connectors You might take a look at Bonitasoft , I got some use out of their connectors ( and WYSIWYG builder ) ten years ago.

  They launched as a Fivetran alternative. So that may not be coincidence.
