Hi, I have a question regarding how airbyte manages the data. Let's suppose I have a source that outputs some data and I have a databse destination that gets this data. Does airbyte have an inside buffer or something that keeps my data before sending it to the destination database? What happens if my destination crashes, do I just lost the data that is coming while my destination is down or does airbyte keep it somewhere ?

Some destination have a staging option using blob storage

What happens if my destination crashes, do I just lost the data that is coming while my destination is down or does airbyte keep it somewhere ?

the sync will fail and you need to start again, some sources (mostly APIs) have checkpoint during the sync so for those cases the sync will continues from where stopped

ok thank you 🙂
