SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 4, 2025--

Airbyte, creator of the open data movement platform, today announced significant updates that provide customers with faster data transfers, as well as predictable pricing, enabling accurate and secure data for AI and analytics.

“Data is the fuel that feeds AI and analytics to improve decision making, and no data is more important than the organization’s first-party data that it owns related to its customers and markets,” said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte. “We’re helping make data more accessible in organizations with unprecedented ease and speed.”

Now, the Airbyte data movement platform delivers these performance enhancements.

• It is up to 95% less expensive to perform high-volume Snowflake syncs, depending on the use case specifics. Syncs are up to 10 times faster than previously with a rebuilt underlying loading mechanism to take full advantage of Snowflake's native bulk loading capabilities. This is a result of significant updates to the Snowflake destination connector, one of the most popular Airbyte connectors. By moving to direct loading and optimizing how Airbyte handles compute and storage, it now takes minutes which previously took hours.
• The Microsoft SQL Server connector, which is Airbyte’s third-largest database source by volume, is 84% faster than before.
• Syncs from MySQL to S3 increase from 23 megabytes per second (MB/s) to 110 MB/s – nearly five times faster.
• Moving 1 terabyte (TB) of data – the equivalent of 6.5 million document pages – from PostgreSQL to S3 now takes 2-1/2 hours when previously it could take 2 days.
• Re-architected data connectors with 4-10 times speed increases, which includes optimized updated connectors for Amazon S3, Azure, BigQuery, and ClickHouse.

Also, the S3 Data Lake destination connector adds support for Apache Polaris catalog integration – eliminating manual catalog management overhead and supporting the Iceberg format. This brings open table format management directly into data pipelines with the ability to write data to S3 while automatically registering tables in Polaris. Now, S3 data can be queried immediately and is discoverable across data lakehouse tools like Spark, Trino, and Flink.

For small- and medium-size enterprises, the new Airbyte Plus plan provides fixed annual pricing that comes with full support, enabling customers to plan budgets more effectively with the backing of Airbyte service level agreements.

Additionally, the Airbyte Connector Builder adds AI-assistance features that make building custom connections easier than ever so that all the right data can be made available for AI and analytics. Plus, now for Airbyte Cloud and Airbyte Flex users, any data connector created with the new Connector Builder will automatically update as new features and enhancements are made, which include performance improvements.

Airbyte makes moving data easy across nearly any source and destination, ensuring enterprises have accurate, timely data for AI readiness, analysis and decision-making. With more than 900 contributors and a community of more than 25,000 members, Airbyte supports the largest data engineering community and is the industry’s only open data movement platform.
