Airbyte, a data integration platform, is updating its connector classification system from Alpha/Beta/GA to Certified & Community. Starting September 18th, all connectors will be classified as either Certified or Community. A Certified connector is actively maintained and supported by Airbyte, while a Community connector is maintained by the Airbyte community until it becomes Certified. This change comes after achieving an average overall sync success rate of over 99% for all connectors. Additionally, Airbyte will be retiring its Free Connector Program, with current users having until September 18th to continue using free connectors before transitioning to standard pricing.
