10 | 17 |
|
11 | 18 | 1. **The connector catalog**
|
12 |
| - * **350+ pre-built connectors**: Airbyte’s connector catalog comes “out-of-the-box” with over 350 pre-built connectors. These connectors can be used to start replicating data from a source to a destination in just a few minutes. |
13 |
| - * **No-Code Connector Builder**: You can easily extend Airbyte’s functionality to support your custom use cases through tools like the [No-Code Connector Builder](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/overview). |
14 |
| -2. **The platform:** Airbyte’s platform provides all the horizontal services required to configure and scale data movement operations, available as [cloud-managed](https://airbyte.com/product/airbyte-cloud) or [self-managed](https://airbyte.com/product/airbyte-enterprise). |
15 |
| -3. **The user interface:** Airbyte features a UI, [**PyAirbyte**](https://docs.airbyte.com/pyairbyte) (Python library), [**API**](https://docs.airbyte.com/api-documentation), and [**Terraform Provider**](https://docs.airbyte.com/terraform-documentation) to integrate with your preferred tooling and approach to infrastructure management. |

| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Airbyte is suitable for a wide range of data integration use cases, including AI data infrastructure |
| 35 | +and EL(T) workloads. Airbyte is also [embeddable](https://airbyte.com/product/powered-by-airbyte) |
| 36 | +within your own application or platform to power your product. |

| 42 | +## Why an open-source data movement infrastructure? |
18 | 43 |
|
19 |
| -## For Airbyte Cloud users |
| 44 | +Today, teams and organizations require efficient and timely data access to an ever-growing list of |
| 45 | +data sources. In-house data pipelines are brittle and costly to build and maintain. How many times |
| 46 | +have we been in this situation? |
20 | 47 |
|
21 |
| -Browse the [connector catalog](/integrations/) to find the connector you want. In case the connector is not yet supported on Airbyte Cloud, consider using [Airbyte Open Source](#for-airbyte-open-source-users). |

| -Next, check out the [step-by-step tutorial](/using-airbyte/getting-started) to sign up for Airbyte Cloud, understand Airbyte [concepts](/using-airbyte/core-concepts), and run your first sync. |
| 52 | +Closed-source solutions are inflexible, and will always often still require complimentary in-house |
| 53 | +solutions. So at this point, investing in such solutions is just postponing the moment you’ll pile |
| 54 | +up very costly data pipeline technical debts. Is there a way to have a scalable and efficient data |
| 55 | +movement infrastructure that will enable your data team to be successful? That’s why we created |
| 56 | +Airbyte. |
