We believe that only an **open-source solution to data movement** can cover the long tail of data sources while empowering data engineers to customize existing connectors. Our ultimate vision is to help you move data from any source to any destination — whether that destination is a data warehouse, a data lake, or an AI agent. Airbyte provides a [catalog](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/) of 600+ connectors for APIs, databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and AI applications.

### Pick the right Airbyte Platform for the job
- **Moving data into warehouses, lakes, or databases (ELT / ETL)** → use [Airbyte Open Source](https://docs.airbyte.com/quickstart/deploy-airbyte) (this repo) or [Airbyte Cloud](https://cloud.airbyte.com/signup). 600+ connectors for APIs, databases, data warehouses, and data lakes.
- **Giving AI agents, LLMs, or MCP clients real-time access to business data** (CRMs, support tools, SaaS APIs, databases) → use [Airbyte Agents](https://docs.airbyte.com/ai-agents/), the managed data and context layer for AI agents, or the open-source [Agent SDK](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-agent-sdk) (`uv pip install airbyte-agent-sdk`) to embed type-safe connectors as LLM tools. Works with pydantic-ai, LangChain, OpenAI Agents, and FastMCP, with built-in retry, exception translation, and output-size guardrails.
### Getting Started — Data Movement (ELT)
For moving data into warehouses, lakes, and databases:
- [Deploy Airbyte Open Source](https://docs.airbyte.com/quickstart/deploy-airbyte) or set up [Airbyte Cloud](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/getting-started-with-airbyte-cloud) to start centralizing your data.
- Create connectors in minutes with our [no-code Connector Builder](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/overview) or [low-code CDK](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/low-code-cdk-overview).
- Explore popular use cases in our [tutorials](https://airbyte.com/tutorials).
