Decisions about Airbyte

Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose Airbyte in their tech stack.

Cyril Duchon-Doris

Hello, For security and strategic reasons, we are migrating our apps from AWS/Google to a cloud provider with more security certifications and fewer functionalities, named Outscale. So far we have been using Google BigQuery as our data warehouse with ELT workflows (using Stitch and dbt ) and we need to migrate our data ecosystem to this new cloud provider.

We are setting up a Kubernetes cluster in our new cloud provider for our apps. Regarding the data warehouse, it's not clear if there are advantages/inconvenients about setting it up on kubernetes (apart from having to create node groups and tolerations with more ram/cpu). Also, we are not sure what's the best Open source or on-premise tool to use. The main requirement is that data must remain in the secure cluster, and no external entity (especially US) can have access to it. We have a dev cluster/environment and a production cluster/environment on this cloud.

Regarding the actual DWH usage - Today we have ~1.5TB in BigQuery in production. We're going to run our initial rests with ~50-100GB of data for our test cluster - Most of our data comes from other databases, so in most cases, we already have replicated sources somewhere, and there are only a handful of collections whose source is directly in the DWH (such as snapshots, some external data we've fetched at some point, google analytics, etc) and needs appropriate level of replication - We are a team of 30-ish people, we do not have critical needs regarding analytics speed, and we do not need real time. We rebuild our DBT models 2-3 times a day and this usually proves enough

Apart from postgreSQL, I haven't really found open-source or on-premise alternatives for setting up a data warehouse, and running transformations with DBT. There is also the question of data ingestion, I've selected Airbyte and @meltano and I have troubles understanding if one of the 2 is better but Airbytes seems to have a bigger community.

What do you suggest regarding the data warehouse, and the ELT workflows ? - Kubernetes or not kubernetes ? - Postgresql or something else ? if postgre, what are the important configs you'd have in mind ? - Airbyte/DBT or something else.
