Happy New Year, <!everyone> and welcome back! 🥳 As we step into 2024, let's take a moment to reflect on our incredible journey in 2023 and look forward to what's ahead. Last year was remarkable for us at Airbyte, with significant achievements and growth: • We reached 127,000 deployments and received over 12,000 stars on GitHub. help us reach 15k 😃 • 350+ connectors available to the community, keeping Airbyte the platform with the most connectors in the industry! • Our community expanded to 17,000+ members, which is now supported by an AI chatbot to help us answer the growing number of questions on #C01AHCD885S. • Launched the No Code Connector Builder UI in addition to our Low Code CDK, so you can build connectors in minutes. Over 2,000 connectors have been built with it. • Hacktoberfest: We joined forces with Hashnode this year, and the community migrated 70 connectors to our low-code framework, fixed 42 bugs, and wrote 24 quickstarts! • Hosted our 2nd annual virtual conference, move(data). 5,000+ folks signed up virtually to hear 35 speakers over 8 hours of lightning talks. • AI use cases unlocked with unstructured data sources and vector DB destinations. • The official Airbyte API and Terraform Provider became available on Airbyte Cloud and Open Source. • Speed - we 10x’d our database replication speed to support larger datasets. Looking ahead to 2024, we're excited about: • further improving speed and reliability, • aiming for 500 high-quality connectors, • focusing on ELTP (extract, load, transform, publish) to close the data movement loop. • covering data lakehouses • enhancing Airbyte Enterprise for self-managed solutions. Our community remains a cornerstone of our success, and we plan to invest more in programs to facilitate contributions and scale support too. Thank you for your passion and commitment.
