# Airbyte

> Connect Airbyte Cloud or Airbyte Server to Paradime to bring Airbyte sources and connections into the catalog, and trigger Airbyte syncs from Bolt or the CLI.

[Airbyte](https://airbyte.com/) is a data integration platform for moving data from sources into your warehouse. Connecting Airbyte to Paradime surfaces your Airbyte assets in the catalog and lets you orchestrate Airbyte syncs alongside your dbt™ runs.

## What you can do

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Catalog & Lineage" icon="sitemap" href="/products/data-catalog/asset-details/airbyte">
    Airbyte sources and connections appear as assets in Paradime's catalog and lineage, so you can trace ingested data through to your dbt™ models.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Orchestration" icon="rotate" href="/products/bolt/creating-schedules/command-settings/airbyte-connector-sync">
    Trigger Airbyte syncs from a Bolt schedule or the CLI, so ingestion and transformation run as one pipeline.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Once connected, trigger syncs from either surface:

| Surface       | Where                                                                                                       |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Bolt schedule | [Airbyte connector sync](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/command-settings/airbyte-connector-sync) command |
| CLI           | [`paradime bolt` Airbyte CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/airbyte-cli)                                         |

## Choose your Airbyte deployment

Setup differs by deployment. Follow the guide for yours; once connected, both surfaces above are available.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Airbyte Cloud" icon="cloud" href="/integrations/airbyte/airbyte-cloud">
    Connect a managed Airbyte Cloud workspace using OAuth client credentials.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Airbyte Server" icon="server" href="/integrations/airbyte/airbyte-server">
    Connect a self-hosted Airbyte Server instance using its API and client credentials.
