Airbyte, a data infrastructure software company, has launched its EU version of Airbyte Cloud after ensuring GDPR compliance and adherence to ISO 27001 standards. This multi-region cloud solution validates the functionality of their "dual plane" architecture, which separates the oversight of data pipelines from the pipelines themselves. The next steps for Airbyte include expanding into more complex regulatory frameworks and developing a hybrid version of its Open Source and Cloud software that will allow customers to process data on a cloud provider or within their own network. This hybrid model aims to offer clients greater control over who processes their data assets and when, where, and how that processing occurs.
