Data integration infrastructure is not easy to build. Moving large amounts of data from one place to another has historically required developers to build ad hoc integration points to move data between SaaS services, data lakes, and data warehouses. Today, there are dedicated systems and services for moving these large batches of data. Airbyte builds The post Airbyte Engineering with Michel Tricot appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Michel Tricot is Co-founder & CEO of Airbyte, the open-source data integration platform. Airbyte was launched in 2020 and since then the company's open-source project (also called Airbyte) has picked up 6K stars and their Slack community has 6K+ data engineers actively participating in it. Airbyte is a unicorn company, having raised $180M+ from investors such as Benchmark, Altimeter, and Accel.
How do you know when—or if—you're ready to start a company? Michel Tricot (Co-Founder & CEO @ Airbyte) talks with us about how he found the confidence to make the leap from engineering leader to launching his own company. Michel provides insight on screening ideas, finding founder-market fit, the most important success factors for early startups, and building trust in an open-source data community.ABOUT MICHEL TRICOTMichel is the co-founder and CEO @ Airbyte. He has been working in data engineering for the past 15 years. As head of integrations and engineering director at Liveramp (NYSE: RAMP), he built and grew the team responsible for building and scaling the data ingestion and data distribution connectors, syncing 100s TB every day.In 2020, he co-founded Airbyte, the new open-source data integration platform, with the vision to commoditize data integration pipelines across all industries and organizations.After just 1 year, Airbyte grew a community with more than 5k members, got deployed over 16k times and raised over 180M from Accel, Altimeter, Benchmark, Coatue and YC.“You want to make sure that the audience you're talking to is an audience that you're very comfortable with, that you deeply understand. So that the product that you build... you don't have to think so much about what do you need to build because you are already one of this person in the audience. You have a sense of what pain they're facing.And that makes a lot of things a lot easier, whenever you do customer discovery, when you do user discovery... You already have a sense and you can put yourself into their shoes.”- Michel Tricot SHOW NOTES:Airbyte's Origin Story (2:33)Finding founder-market fit (7:15)Why you should invalidate your ideas (10:29)How to know when you're ready to start a company (14:00)Making the transition from eng leader to CEO (16:42)How do founders navigate the fundraising process?

Michel Tricot has been in the data space for the past 15 years. He really enjoys gathering information, and gaining insight from it. As a kid, he would gather data in analog ways, grouping together movies or internet articles in categories, and extracting info from it. Outside of tech, he is married with 2 kids, and loves a nice afternoon in the backyard cooking BBQ. He does both fire cooking, and smoking, though he admits that he not smoked a brisket yet because he doesn't want to get up in the middle of night and check the temperature.In his prior role, Michel was a Director of Engineering and Head of Integration at LiveRamp, where he and his team were managing thousands of connectors, responsible for moving massive amounts of data everyday. His big realization was that every company needs to have a way to move data, and to do it in a dead simple way.This is the creation story of Airbyte.SponsorsImmediateOrbitPostmarkStytchVerb DataWebapp.ioLinksWebsite: https://airbyte.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/micheltricot/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Try to get something out as quickly as possible, even if you don't focus on getting the right pricing right out of the race; that's fine. What you want with an idea is you want to understand. are people going to pay for it? And are you solving a real problem? It's very hard for people to project themselves with something that you say. Try to give them something tangible. I would say get it out as quickly as possible. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-inventive-journey/message
