Yeah it’s been a while since I posted my previous blog about my personal thoughts on how to keep the best employees. In which I will do when I have my own company in the future, God willing.
Now I’m in the mood to share my 3 reasons why I choose Airbyte as a weapon of choice for Data Extraction & Loading (the EL in ELT).
- Easy to use. Yes it’s really true! Airbyte is designed to load from a Data Source (point A) and Data Warehouse Destination (point B). That’s all we really need. Plus most of the connectors can handle full and incremental loading. And speaking of connectors, it is because of the amazing help of #2.
- Great community. One of the benefits of being an Open Source Software is the chance to have an awesome community. Aside from the contributions by the community to improve the product, the community of users are also there to help and support one another. So don’t be surprised if they have hundreds of connectors.
- Easy to install via plural.sh. Well, it’s not really easy to setup an Open Source Software specially if you are a Data Professional like me. I used to maintain an Airflow before and wow I used most of my time fixing it than creating more data pipelines. But fast forward today, I thank God there’s already a solution to help non-devops like me to spin up Airbyte and also handles the updates for me. Yes that’s how cool Plural.sh but sadly, just like a Data Professional that works in the backend, they don’t get much love. So please check them out! They are Open Source and have great community as well.
If you’ve come this far, thank you for reading my blog. Appreciate it!
