As seen on
Airbyte is building an open-source data pipeline platform. An open-source alternative to Fivetran or Stitchdata is interesting because building and maintaining connectors require a ton of resources. If you’re just starting out with your data pipeline and you don’t have a big team, it creates a barrier to entry.
In this Q&A, Michel Tricot, co-founder and CEO of Airbyte, discusses the challenges and opportunities of enterprise data integration and where his company is headed.
Airbyte today announced it has raised $5.2 million in seed funding as part of an effort to make open source tools for managing and integrating data more accessible.
