Airbyte October Update

In the past month, Airbyte has launched several new features and initiatives. They introduced incremental normalization, which significantly reduces costs and processing time for basic normalization. Additionally, they released Airbyte Cloud into its private beta stage with a pricing calculator to help users save on volume-based pricing. The company also implemented OAuth configuration for certain connectors in Airbyte Cloud, making setup easier. Furthermore, Airbyte held their first Hacktoberfest event, resulting in 42 new connectors being developed by the community. Lastly, Ari Bajo Rouvinen published an article on concerns with using Airflow for ETL/ELT, which sparked discussions about data engineering practices.
