Community Contribution at: Airbyte
🆕 Deep dive:
Airbyte is an open source data integration platform. It helps organizations to consolidate their data in data warehouses, lakes, and databases. They enable the movement of data through an engine built around connectors that take it from a source, like Salesforce, and move it to a destination, like Snowflake. But there’s a problem: the long tail of connectors needed to provide for all of a company’s data movement needs.
To solve this, Airbyte built the largest community of data engineers in the world who rallied around the goal of finally commoditizing data pipelines. In doing so they created an industry-leading catalog of connectors that enabled them to disrupt the data integration space. We'll closely examine the strategy and tactics they used to achieve this and how community contribution can help make big visions a reality.
Here’s what it covers:
✔️ The Problem: How Airbyte approached creating and maintaining integrations at scale.
✔️ The Solution: The tactics used to build a community of contributors.
✔️ The Outcome: The tools and incentives that led them to become an industry leader.
Devtool or not, this isn't one to miss.
