When I'm using the

load_assets_from_airbyte_instance

method to create the assets from my Airbyte connections, and I have the connections set to run on a schedule from the Airbyte side, does anyone know if Dagster will automatically detect when the assets get materialized via an Airbyte initiated sync, or does it have to be triggered from the Dagster side?

Hi Tobias, right now Dagster only creates asset materializations when it triggers an Airbyte sync. If your use-case would work better with Airbyte itself triggering syncs, let me know, this is something we could potentially support down the line.

Thanks! I can make it work as is for now, but I think that it would be useful down the line to have Dagster detect materializations based on whenever Airbyte executes a connection sync.

We have a notion of source asset observations (https://docs.dagster.io/concepts/assets/asset-observations#observable-source-assets) which may be able to be adapted to this scenario - Dagster will treat the Airbyte syncs as external “source” assets, and can be triggered to look for new materializations

Thanks, I'll take a look
