Airbyte Data Ingestion Failure

Back to Runbooks

Overview

Airbyte Data Ingestion Failure is a type of incident where Airbyte, an open-source data integration platform, fails to ingest data from one or more sources. This can happen due to several reasons such as connectivity issues, source API changes, incorrect configuration, or platform limitations. As a result, the data that needs to be ingested into the target system cannot be processed, which can cause delays, errors, or data loss. This type of incident requires immediate attention and resolution to ensure that the data pipeline is functioning correctly and the data is available for downstream applications.
