Airbyte recently announced that it secured $26 million in Series A funding led by Benchmark, according to a blog post by co-founder and CEO Michel Tricot.

The company will also add new talent to support Airbyte in building both open-source editions and a future cloud version of its data integration technology.

The product can be deployed on laptops and even servers to replicate data without coding via the vendor’s web application.

The company will have full compatibility with Kubernetes and is set to release “several” flagship projects over the next few months as well. Airbyte also plans to continue improving the experience while building and maintaining connectors.
