Oh man, so happy to see this.

For me right now, Airbyte is that tool I wish we had at my last startup.

We we're pulling data from a lot of weird places (servers in the back of mom and pop vet clinics). This meant writing a lot of one off scripts to populate our databases. We learned the hard way about scheduling, retries, resource monitoring, error reporting etc..

Would've loved to have someone else take care of all that for us.

Anyway love letter over.

I'm currently wondering if I can use this to power some of my web scraping scripts....
