Hello, would you be able to clarify if Airbyte is a non-blocking process? We are interested in running a backup process of Postgres-to-CSV and for the duration of the backup would like any incoming reads & writes to the database to not experience any slowdows. Thank you for your time.

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you can refer to the Airbyte documentation and tutorials for more information on how Airbyte works with Postgres: - [Postgres Source Documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/postgres) - [Postgres to CSV Tutorial](https://airbyte.com/tutorials/postgres-to-csv-json-parquet-avro-in-s3) These resources might help you understand how Airbyte interacts with Postgres databases and its impact on performance.
