Airbyte Data Movement Enhances Data Sovereignty and AI Readiness
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Airbyte, the open data movement platform, today announced three significant updates to its on-premises Airbyte Enterprise product that provide organizations with greater flexibility and control over their data while ensuring that data is ready to work with AI. 'All these new capabilities are directed towards making data AI ready with more control, context, and speed because without data, there is no AI, and without the right data, AI is no good,' said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte. Airbyte's platform updates include the ability to facilitate data sovereignty and compliance across different global regions; synchronize data with its metadata to assist AI models' ability to improve reasoning and accuracy; and directly load data volumes to BigQuery and Snowflake, which increases data sync speeds and reduces compute costs. 'All these new capabilities are directed towards making data AI ready with more control, context, and speed because without data, there is no AI, and without the right data, AI is no good,' said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte. ' Studies have shown that too often, AI projects are abandoned due to poor data quality and escalating costs. We help organizations command their data quickly and securely. Our enhanced data sovereignty feature will appeal to businesses in areas like Australia where compliance rules have been a challenge for many organizations, helping Airbyte expand in those regions.' The new multiple data planes feature can be used by organizations to keep control of their data on-premises in order to maintain data sovereignty and compliance across different regions, but with an improved, centralized user interface (UI) that efficiently manages all of it holistically. Airbyte now enables synchronized unstructured files and structured records to be transferred in the same data pipeline, which is the most efficient way to preserve metadata and data relationships – enabling richer data context and significantly improving the performance of AI Large Language Models (LLMs) using that data. Direct loading represents a new, streamlined way that Airbyte loads data into BigQuery that will soon be available for ClickHouse and Snowflake, plus other destinations. Direct loading can reduce compute costs by 50 to 70%, and increases speed by up to 33% depending on the use case. Airbyte makes moving data easy and affordable across nearly any source and destination, ensuring enterprises have accurate, timely data for analysis, decision-making, and AI. With over 900 contributors and a community of more than 230,000 members, Airbyte supports the largest data engineering community and is the industry's only open data movement platform. The company announced a strong first quarter with a 25% increase in revenue and has recently received multiple industry recognitions for its innovation and growth.

After being stuck in a 2-hour jam, EaseMyTrip co-founder pledges Rs 1 crore to fix Bengaluru traffic
Frustrated by spending more than two hours to travel just 11 kilometers on Bengaluru's Outer Ring Road (ORR), EaseMyTrip co-founder Prashant Pitti has pledged Rs 1 crore to fix the city's chronic traffic problems with the help of artificial intelligence and satellite data. In a post shared on X, Pitti shared about being stuck for 100 minutes at a single intersection on Saturday night, with no traffic signal or police presence to manage the chaos. 'I don't want one more Bengaluru traffic meme or rant. I want to fix it,' he wrote. Further, Pitti cited Google Maps' recently launched 'Road Management Insight' tool, which provides city-level traffic data through BigQuery. He suggested using AI and satellite imagery to highlight the city's worst choke points to support better urban planning and traffic management. Pitti offered to fund up to Rs 1 crore toward the initiative personally. This includes covering the cost of hiring one or two experienced ML/AI engineers, paying for Google Maps API usage, obtaining satellite imagery, and setting up the GPU infrastructure required to process large-scale traffic data. 'I am willing to spend INR 1 Crore on this project by funding: 1-2 senior ML/AI engineers. And providing budget for using Google Maps API calls, Satellite Imagery & GPUs. I will start this project, when BTP/BBMP: Open their raw feeds or API access AND names a team, committed to acting on the insights we generate,' he wrote. Urging public support, Pitti asked citizens to tag officials, encourage tech professionals to contribute, and help amplify the initiative. 'Bangalore is India's tech future. And the people making it happen deserve much better,' he wrote. See the post here: I am committing INR 1 Cr to find Bangalore Choke-Points via Google Maps & AL. 11 km → 2.15 hours in Bangalore Traffic on Saturday late night! I was stuck at one choke-point at ORR, where I spent 100 mins struggling to understand why there is no traffic-light or cop here! But… — Prashant Pitti (@ppitti) July 14, 2025 Several users appreciated Pitti's initiative, with one commenting, 'Kudos to the effort.' Another user wrote, 'Hats off to you for this cracking initiative! I'm no AI/ML whiz, but I can definitely lend a hand with those meetings with Bengaluru Traffic Police and BBMP.'
