Hi guys. I started using Airbyte few days ago and managed to make my first connections running. But (and even I've looked at the documentation/forum) I don't understand how I could extract/backup as flat files the sources, destinations and connections I've defined. At the end I'm also interested by a mean to provision/load such files into an Airbyte instance (already running or during the deploiement stage). Actually I've to handle several environments (production and non-production) and I'm looking for a convinient way to deploy similar sources/destinations/connections for every single on them using the CLI: where should I start ? Sorry if it's a newbie question and thank you for your answers.

Hi. Not sure I understand the question correctly. you are asking how to create a prod grade connection? if so- you need to setup a scheduler for the relevant connection by also using airbyte api to update a source ( if needed) to get dynamic time range - so airflow is a great tool to orchestrate this prod env.

Thank you for you answer. Basically I would like to be able to: • import/export sources/destinations/connections to/from a Airbyte instance as files • idealy provide such files during deployment of an Airbyte instance Currently I don't understand how to do this. I hope this is much more clear like that.

Thx @Marcelo Pio de Castro 👍

You can also use airbyte api for that- when you trigger a connection you can use the api to check which job runs and get logs etc..
