Rationale
Airbyte is primarily an ELT tool for data integration, which is distinct from a low-code internal tools platform like Retool. While Airbyte offers extensive API and database integrations, code customization (PyAirbyte, API, Terraform), flexible deployment options (cloud, self-managed), and security features (SSO, RBAC, audit logs), it does not provide a drag-and-drop UI builder for creating full-fledged internal applications. Its focus is on data movement and transformation, not application development.
