We are seeing many enterprises modernizing and moving away from proprietary and legacy data movement technology that struggles to keep up with the fast pace of AI advancement.”

Over the past four months, in the wake of the launch of Airbyte 1.0, users have created more data connectors for Miro, Twilio Segment, Vercel, WordPress, and many more popular platforms that help simplify data integration. The most recent updates include a new Motherduck destination connector, which works with both DuckDB and MotherDuck delivering data integration for AI and analytics. Airbyte and Motherduck have launched a hackathon over the next month with $10,000 in awards for best submissions, plus additional prizes.

In total, there are more than 550 data connectors now available in the Airbyte Marketplace, including eight vector databases, in addition to unstructured data sources, which then can be accessed by AI models. The company is on track to reach more than 1,000 connectors by the end of 2025.

In addition, Airbyte makes available Connector Builders, as well as an AI Assistant, for users who want to easily create custom data connectors for their specific needs. In just 10 minutes, data engineers can build production-ready custom connectors, enabling integration of data across diverse platforms and ecosystems.
