Thanks. Airbyte is a great third-party tool for creating custom ELT pipelines and accessing popular connectors. Our focus at Pipebird is different - we help companies work directly with their customers to share data.

To illustrate the difference, imagine ACME Inc. wants to pull its customer data from HubSpot. With Airbyte, they can use a pre-built connector that accesses data made available via the HubSpot API.

Now let's say HubSpot uses Pipebird to build native data sharing features for its customers. ACME Inc. can now deploy a secure data pipeline directly from HubSpot without involving any third-party. Since HubSpot is offering the pipelines, it can choose to expose more data than is made available via its API (Stripe has done this with their data pipeline product https://stripe.com/data-pipeline) and ACME Inc. doesn't need to worry about the pipeline breaking because it's coming directly from the source.

Thanks for the explanation. Does it mean HubSpot as the data source itself will have to maintain these native data pipelines?

Pipebird handles all of the actual plumbing (extraction, transfer scheduling, retries, setting up data sharing, etc).

The only thing HubSpot would have to do is set up their source and add a destination through our API.
