Airbyte 2.0
Today, we're launching Airbyte 2.0. It's not just an update. It's a complete reimagining of what a data movement platform should be in the age of AI.
Here's the reality: every company is racing to use AI, build with AI, and integrate AI into their products and services, but most are hitting the same wall. Their data is scattered across dozens of systems, locked behind compliance requirements, or moving too slowly to be useful. You can't build accurate, meaningful AI if your data can't keep up.
We’ve built Airbyte 2.0 to meet the moment: a data movement platform for breaking data silos and enabling every organization to become AI ready.
Enterprise Flex: Have your data cake and eat it too
We built Enterprise Flex from the ground up to address a glaring gap we saw in the market: the biggest tension in enterprise data has always been control vs. flexibility. Companies want the ease of cloud deployment, but they need to keep sensitive data within their own walls. With Enterprise Flex, you don't have to choose.
We've decoupled the control plane from the data plane. What does that mean? You get a single pane of glass running in the cloud to manage everything, while your actual data never leaves your infrastructure. Your first-party data stays sovereign. Your AI models get the context they need. Everyone wins.
This isn't incremental. It's architectural. And it's exactly what enterprises need to feed their AI systems and unlock the value of their first-party data without compromising on security or compliance.
Key Details:
- Deploy anywhere: cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud
- True data sovereignty: data never leaves your environment, Airbyte never stores your data
- Become AI ready with a unified platform that allows you to unlock ALL of your first-party data
- Predictable capacity-based pricing
Data Activation
With Data Activation, we're completing the data movement loop. Take your warehouse insights — your customer scores, your product recommendations, your churn predictions, your freshest usage data — and sync them directly into Salesforce, HubSpot, or Customer.io. Your insights become actionable in the tools your teams already use.
AI is not just about ingesting data to train models. It’s about using those models to generate accurate, actionable insights with first-party data and pushing those insights back out to where your decisions are being made. Data Activation and AI are better together.
One platform. Extract, load, and activate. No more duct-taping reverse ETL tools onto your stack.
Key Benefits:
- Full data movement: from source to destination and back to your business critical applications to unlock first-party data value
- AI readiness: pull high quality data into the applications that need it to ensure LLMs and agents are using the best, freshest data to generate accurate responses or take action
Platform efficiency: Because AI doesn't wait
We didn't just optimize our connectors. We rearchitected them. MySQL to S3 went from 23 MB/s to 110 MB/s. That's a 4.7x improvement. Across our newly optimized connectors (S3, Azure, BigQuery, ClickHouse), we're seeing 4-10x speed increases.
Why does this matter for AI? Because real-time context is the difference between useful AI and yesterday's news. When your data moves faster, your models train faster, your insights arrive sooner, and your business moves at the speed of your market.
Key Benefits
- Full data movement: from source to destination and back to your business critical applications to unlock first-party data value
- AI readiness: pull high quality data into the applications that need it to ensure LLMs and agents are using the best, freshest data to generate accurate responses or take action
Pricing Plans
With Airbyte 2.0, we've completely redesigned our pricing plans to match how teams actually grow with data:
Core (formerly OSS)
Our open-source foundation, free forever. For engineering teams who want to run everything themselves and have full control over the code.
Standard (formerly Cloud)
Fully managed, pay-as-you-go. Perfect for teams getting started who want to focus on moving data, not managing infrastructure.
Pro (formerly Teams)
For growing organizations that need more than the basics. Capacity-based pricing gives you predictable costs, plus the governance features (RBAC, SSO, audit logs) that matter as you scale.
Enterprise Flex
The game-changer. All the enterprise features of Pro, but with the flexibility to run your data planes anywhere — cloud, multi-cloud, on-prem, or hybrid. A fully managed control plane with data sovereignty wherever you need it.
Self-Managed Enterprise
For organizations with the strictest security and compliance requirements. Full enterprise features, completely within your infrastructure.
Every tier is built on the same rock-solid platform. The only difference is how much control you need and where you want your data to live.
One More Thing: Announcing Airbyte MCP
At Airbyte we believe access to the right data is a crucial part of building successful AI applications and agents. Through our platform we’ve accelerated your time to value from mission critical data silos and extended your data infrastructure to grow with your needs. A part of growing with your needs is staying abreast of the most significant trends, and we’re thrilled to announce our participation in one of AI’s most important developments, Model Context Protocol (MCP), with our own Airbyte MCP.
Through Airbyte MCP we make creating new integrations, building pipelines, and syncing data an integrated part of your AI programming experience. The tools we’ve built make Airbyte administration seamless for humans and AI agents. Additionally, our MCP unlocks the potential for LLMs to leverage Airbyte’s hallmark capabilities like our Connector Builder frameworks. Finally, the tools available to the Airbyte MCP are also in line with our pursuit of being your unified data platform. With our Authentication Proxy we enable you and your AI agent to not only ingest data from 3rd party sources, but also to request actions be taken at those sources. The pipelines you’ve authorized with Airbyte now directly authenticate you and your AI agent to take action at the sources of your data.
We’re thrilled to be operating at the cutting edge of AI and are expanding our early access program for the Airbyte MCP, made possible with Airbyte Embedded.
What this means for you
If you're building AI into your products, you need three things:
- De-siloed control of all your first-party data
- The ability to move it fast and securely
- A way to activate insights where they matter
Airbyte 2.0 delivers all three in one platform.We're not just keeping pace with the AI revolution. We're building the infrastructure that makes it possible. At the end of the day, the companies that win with AI won't be the ones with the fanciest models. They'll be the ones who can actually use their data.
Welcome to Airbyte 2.0. Let's build the future together.
