“We’re getting closer to making Airbyte best-in-class with this significant release while furthering our mission to commoditize data integration,” said Michel Tricot, co-founder and CEO, Airbyte. “At the same time, we’re reducing resource requirements and giving users of both Airbyte Open Source and Airbyte Cloud more flexibility in how they comply with their internal or regulatory requirements. And, there are even more updates coming in the weeks ahead.”

Airbyte’s adoption of checkpointing – a data processing technique that enables recovery from interruptions – now gives users improved levels of data reliability. By creating a saved state of a data stream at regular intervals, checkpointing allows the system to resume from the most recent checkpoint in the event of a failure, avoiding data loss or redundant processing – essential for large-scale data integration tasks.

The column selection feature enables users to select specific columns from a source for replication, rather than being required to integrate the entire object or table. With this added flexibility, users can now focus on the data most relevant to their needs, optimizing resource usage and efficiency. Users can also protect their data by excluding sensitive data, and more easily comply with data privacy regulations. Here is a video that demonstrates how column selection works.

The schema propagation feature automatically adopts changes from the source schema to the destination schema, saving users from manually making these changes. As data schemas change frequently in real-world scenarios, this capability enhances usability and reduces administrative overhead. Users are able to control how schema propagation is done for each connection. This enhances usability and reliability of the Airbyte platform.

Airbyte makes moving data easy and affordable across almost any source and destination, helping enterprises provide their users with access to the right data for analysis and decision-making. Airbyte has the largest data engineering contributor community – with more than 800 contributors – and the best tooling to build and maintain connectors.

Atlassian provides a single, extensible DevOps platform for engineering, IT Operations, and business teams to accelerate engineering velocity, improve DevOps and application health, increase uptime and reliability, and ultimately deliver value faster to their customers.

“Companies of all sizes need to continually transform and leverage new technologies to unlock value for their customers, which requires deep expertise and an interconnected ecosystem of tools,” said Cameron Deatsch, Chief Revenue Officer at Atlassian. “We believe the recognition of Atlassian as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for DevOps Platforms reflects our unique approach and the value we provide by accelerating software delivery, improving DevOps health, and bridging engineering and business teams together.”

Gartner evaluated 14 global DevOps platform vendors based on the Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

Three key trends are driving Atlassian’s Open DevOps Platform adoption across teams of all sizes:

• Modern DevOps has evolved. With more organizations than ever adopting DevOps practices versus centralized, command-and-control operations, Atlassian provides a direct feedback loop across the entire software development lifecycle—from incident management and application health to feature ideation and sprint planning—to improve engineering velocity and application health.
• Developers, IT Operations, product, and business teams require a shared knowledge pipeline. While the shift to autonomous DevOps teams and progressive delivery can accelerate feature delivery, organizations often reach a tipping point where the lack of shared context outweighs gains. For modern teams to push past this complexity limit, they need to be able to connect metrics, platform services, and intuitive best practices across software development teams, IT Operations, product, and business teams.
• No one-size fits all enterprise stack. Atlassian’s extensible DevOps Platform offers the easy onboarding, DevOps guidance, and governance of an all-in-one solution, while providing the ability to customize for nearly any stack and use case with thousands of integrations and pre-built templates. With Atlassian’s Open DevOps platform, enterprises can maintain context while continually evolving their toolchains based on unique needs and market conditions.

Atlassian recently announced major innovations to help software teams reduce cognitive load, accelerate delivery, and measure business impact, including Atlassian Intelligence, DevSecOps available in Jira Software, cross-product insights in Atlassian Analytics, and new ideation capabilities with Jira Product Discovery.
