Component Category [#component-category]

Data ingestion and ETL

Component Description [#component-description]

Airbyte is the ingestion and synchronization component used in ProAI for moving data between source systems and target platforms. It brings a connector-based approach to data movement, which makes it easier to ingest and synchronize data without building custom pipelines for every source.

Why It Is Used [#why-it-is-used]

It gives the platform a repeatable way to connect external data sources, synchronize datasets, and feed analytical destinations without building custom ingestion logic for every integration. This is especially useful when teams need broad connector coverage, operationally consistent ELT flows, and a path for extending integrations over time.
