The Complete Hands-on Introduction to Airbyte

Discover Airbyte core concepts: source, destination, and connectors; learn how streams and fields organize data, and configure connections with replication options like full overwrite and incremental updates.

Explore Airbyte’s core components, including the config database, web app, API, scaler, discover, workers, and how the UI creates sources and manages sync jobs through the API.

Explore Airbyte deployment options, including three paths: open source self-managed community version, self-managed enterprise, and fully managed Airbyte cloud, tailoring features and support to your needs.

Discover how Docker creates isolated containers to run applications with their own dependencies, using Docker files and images, and executing Airbyte with Docker build and Docker run.

Learn to run Airbyte with Docker by installing Docker Desktop, managing containers and resources, starting Airbyte components with Docker Compose, then access the web UI on port 8000.

Create your first Airbyte source with Google Sheets by configuring a service account, enabling the Google Sheets API, and sharing the spreadsheet for access.

Create your first Airbyte destination with BigQuery, replicating data from Google Sheets, attach billing, set project and a customers data set, choose a loading method, and verify the connection.

Make your first sync by replicating data from Google Sheets into BigQuery, then verify the results in BigQuery tables CC and wire via the job history and logs.

Airbyte creates an internal namespace and route tables storing records with airbyte row id, extracted at, loaded at, meta, and data for schema migrations and to recreate the final table.

Discover how Airbyte performs a source-to-destination sync via a sync workflow, using connectors, a queue and workers, with config checks, schema validation, and loading into destinations like BigQuery.

Create a dedicated read-only Postgres user for non-Airbyte databases to enable data transfer, granting read-only access to relevant schemas and tables; the Airbyte Postgres database already has this user.

Explore how Airbyte detects schema changes before syncing, handles non-breaking and breaking changes, and propagates changes with manual approval.

Configure the Postgres connector to replicate data from Postgres to BigQuery using CDC, including enabling logical replication, creating a replication slot and publication, and switching to CDC in the UI.

Configures Postgres with CDC to replicate data into BigQuery using Airbyte, verifies replication, and explains CDC fields like cdc_lsn and updated_at, including delete handling and CDC limitations.

Learn to build a data pipeline with airbyte that loads fake transactions, runs data quality checks with soda, and produces a customer risk score.

Take your time to learn, watch the video first, then replicate. Focus on tasks, not setup; brief intros to snowflake, airflow, DBT, soda.

generate fake customer transactions with two python scripts: a postgres-backed transaction generator for airbyte and a detection generator that labels fraud and stores results in mysql, triggered by airflow pipeline.

Explore how Apache Airflow acts as a data orchestrator to program, monitor, and schedule workflows, using DAGs, operators, and providers like Airbyte to sync data.

Create and configure an AWS S3 bucket and an IAM user, attach a tailored policy, generate access keys, and prepare Airbyte to access the bucket.

Create an Airbyte connection from MySQL to S3 to transfer the labeled transactions table; name it load labeled transactions and set the schedule to manual.

Learn the write audit publish pattern that stages data, audits it for quality with a framework like soda, and only then moves valid records to production for downstream consumers.

Learn to validate staged data with soda, a data quality framework, by defining checks in a YAML file with soda core and soda SQL to ensure tables are not empty.

Explore pyairbyte, an open source python library that ingests data from systems using airbyte connectors, enabling Genie, machine learning, data warehousing, and analytics with duckdb sql and pandas integration.
