“The hardest part of ETL is not building the connectors, it is maintaining them.” Truer words never spoken. Really enjoyed this episode with Michel Tricot CEO & Co-Founder of Airbyte where we discuss all things data integration and connectors.
Top 3 value bombs:
- The future of ETL/ELT integration connectors may lie with open source. Many closed source data integration tools only create connectors if the ROI is there, but this leaves many tools out and speed to market can be slow. Airbyte has created a modular open source framework that allows the community to quickly build reliable data connectors.
- As Airbyte starts to monetize they have some innovative methods, one of which is if a developer from the open source community creates and maintains a connector they could potentially get a small percentage of revenue associated with that connector.
- Data governance ang logging is increasingly becoming more important in the coming years.
