Hello Airbyte! I would like to build a custom connector for an ORM platform that my customer is using (https://konnectinsights.com/). I was going through your literature on how to create a sample connector as a starter (https://docs.airbyte.io/tutorials/toy-connector). I could do that successfully. However - there are instructions related to "Incremental Sync" that is going to be useful for while building by custom connector. May I request you to point to the site if these instructions are available and if not - at least a hand written draft (even if it's not very neat) can well be a good starter for me.
u
May I request Airbyte team to help here?

Hiya. Happy to help.

Here is an explanation of what incremental looks like in Airbyte.

It doesn't tell you how to implement incremental though.

I can write up some notes for you. Is this blocking you right now? If so I can spend time on it now. Otherwise I'll probably wait until this afternoon.

Hi @charles It's ok if I can get development instructions by coming Wednesday as I can spend time building it on Thursday to provide a demo on Friday to my internal folks. The speed at which we can introduce our custom connectors and managing all at a single place is a key thing for us to make progress and your notes can actually help me at this stage.

Here's a first draft of a tutorial that adds incremental on the source that we create in the toy connector tutorial
u
it will evolve and get cleaned up, but wanted to get you what I have so far.
