hi @kapa.ai where does airbyte store the latest version available for connectors to upgrade to ?

Airbyte’s docs don’t explicitly describe a single “storage location” (like a DB table or file path) where the latest connector versions are kept, so I can’t point you to an internal store by name. From the available information, we can say: • Airbyte maintains a connector catalog/registry that tracks connector metadata, including the latest available version. The PyAirbyte
airbyte.registry
module exposes this via
ConnectorMetadata.latest_available_version
and related helper functions, which read from that registry. [airbyte.registry; sources.registry] • The UI surfaces this registry data as: ◦ “current in-use version” vs “latest version available” for each connector in Workspace/Organization settings → Sources/Destinations. [Managing connector updates] • When you upgrade Airbyte itself, unused connectors may be automatically bumped to the latest version according to this catalog/registry. [Upgrading Airbyte] However, the docs do not state where, at a low level, that registry is stored (e.g., specific database, file, or service endpoint), so I can’t give a more precise answer than “it’s managed in Airbyte’s connector registry/catalog and exposed via the API/UI.” 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
