Thanks, Nicolas! Airbyte co-founder here :). We’re super excited to launch the Connector Builder on both Airbyte Open Source and Cloud. We’ve been working on it for almost a year! We all need connectors that are not supported by ELT solutions yet. Consider, for example, a niche SaaS tool that the marketing team might be using. To extract data from it, you have to build and maintain the connectors yourself or ask your engineering team to do it. For an engineer, integrating with an API could take weeks, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are tens of thousands of such APIs out there, and integrating with them is crucial for many organizations, yet very difficult. The Connector Builder is a self-serve, no-code tool that lets you build new API connectors and directly connect them to any Airbyte destination in as little as 10 minutes. No coding experience or development environment is required. Since the beta release of the Airbyte connector builder two months ago, more than 100 connectors have been built and deployed to production by users to support critical data movement workloads for long-tail connectors. Teams will now be able to have all their connector needs addressed! Today, the connector builder is best suited for synchronous HTTP API connectors. We’ve published a compatibility guide which can help you identify if a specific API is a fit for the connector builder. As we support more components, we expect that the vast majority of API connector needs will be supported.
