Open source data synchronizer Airbyte has a new API, complementing its existing cloud UI, that makes it possible to automate data movement and manage large deployments. Other suppliers can embed Airbyte Cloud’s data movement capabilities directly into their product offerings. Integrating Airbyte Cloud with orchestration tools like Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect makes it easier to manage and monitor data pipelines and ensure data is flowing smoothly between sources and destinations. A Terraform SDK is coming soon to define configurations and automate deployments as part of CI/CD pipelines. This will enable Airbyte resources and configurations to be version-controlled, reviewed, and tested.
