Airbyte 2.0 in brief: hybrid control, activation, faster pipelines!!!!

BREAKING: Airbyte enters the platform era. You get hybrid control with Enterprise Flex, warehouse-to-app Data Activation, and a faster core that delivers a huge boost  to pipeline sync speeds.

Enterprise Flex

  • Control plane managed by Airbyte

  • Data plane in your environment, Airbyte managed, or a hybrid configuration

  • Data stays in your network for sovereignty and compliance

  • External secrets, audit logs, AWS PrivateLink, column-level hashing, multi-workspace

Data Activation

  • Push trusted warehouse data into Salesforce, HubSpot, Customer.io

  • Power marketing, sales, and support with fresher context

  • Feed ML with curated data and loop outcomes back to the warehouse

  • Retries, monitoring, identity mapping, clear error reporting

Speed work

  • Protobuf transport, index-based encoding

  • Schema-agnostic partitioning over UNIX domain sockets

  • Simplified hot path by shifting orchestration into connectors
    Expect 4–10x gains depending on source and destination

Who should care

  • Regulated and global teams with data residency needs

  • Orgs turning analytics into action in downstream apps

  • Platform teams that want speed without losing control

How to start

  1. Choose one high-value flow to activate

  2. Set up Enterprise Flex

  3. Connect warehouse and one destination

  4. Track freshness, error rate, and business impact

I spoke with Michel Tricot about 2.0, Enterprise Flex, Activation, and the speed story.
